Informal Economy: A micro-level analysis
Vu Duc, Cuong ; Levely, Ian Vandemark (advisor) ; Cingl, Lubomír (referee)
This paper analyzes association of informal economy with demographic charac- teristics. The first part introduces the definition and composition of the informal economy and sets the theoretical background. It presents its consequences and causes from different points of view. In the second part, we isolate characteris- tics that predict the propensity to work in the informal economy using the probit model. The work finds that the direction of individual effects matches with find- ings in Latin America reported by Perry et al. (2007). Keywords Informal economy, Shadow economy, South Africa, econometrics

Socio-economic Analysis of the Informal Economy in San Diego County

The informal economy in the developed world, mainly the European Union and the United States of America, has a minor share in the world's informal economy, as such it is not commonly discussed among academics. Some countries around the world are actively trying to battle this sector to minimalize it and thus minimalize its impact on the state economy and on the individual communities. To implement more effective policies it is important to know which factors are most conducive to the prevalence of the informal economy. Finding those factors became the aim of this paper. Owing to the fact that there is a lack of research conducted in the developed countries about the informal economy the main focus of the thesis is the geographical area of San Diego County, predominantly for its diverse demographics. The factors are identified and analyzed in detail in chapter 4. In "Discussion" the factors are evaluated to reveal the most conducive ones. It has been determined that the most conducive factors are "burdensome regulation" and "individual preferences". Additionally factors that influence the informal economy in San Diego County are "low...

The Role of Shadow Economy in Contemporary Economic Policy
Kroutilíková, Renáta ; Petrášek, František (advisor) ; Burgerová, Jiřina (referee)
Stínová ekonomika se může považovat za fenomén, který je bezpochyby součástí každé ekonomiky. Není sice možné formulovat všeobecně akceptovatelnou definici stejně tak jako jednoznačně určit její rozsah v dané ekonomice. Hlavním důvodem je existence mnoha metod měření a nízké dostupnosti dat. Bezpochyby ale platí, že je to ta oblast ekonomiky, která reaguje na nedostatky a chyby v ekonomice oficiální, jenž vznikají nevhodnými státními zásahy v rámci hospodářských opatření. Konkrétně se jedná o nadměrnou daňovou zátěž, mnohé regulace podnikání a nízkou kvalitu služeb poskytovaných státem. O této oblasti můžeme tvrdit, že je ekonomikou racionální, i když se vládní instituce a tvůrci hospodářské politiky snaží o její kontrolu a snižování jejího růstu.
