- This report presents estimates of the size of the shadow economy in Moldova and Romania during the years 2015–2016. The estimates are based on surveys of entrepreneurs in both countries, following the method of Putniņš and Sauka (Journal of Comparative Economics 43:471–490, 2015). The components of the shadow economy captured by this approach include misreported business income, unregistered or hidden employees, and ‘envelope’ wages. Our findings suggest that both Moldova and Romania exhibit high levels of bribery, which is influenced by the number of unregistered companies. The results of this chapter highlight the importance of focusing on different forms of entrepreneurship particularly in transition economies.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Considering the importance of context in exploring the entrepreneurship phenomenon, this explorative paper addresses patterns of business insolvencies during economic growth as compared to the economic recession within the context of an advanced transition economy. Empirically, the paper draws on 15 face-to-face interviews with insolvency administrators in Latvia conducted in 2007, and a repeated survey of the same respondents conducted in 2009. Our findings suggest that apart from reasons influencing business insolvency in well-established market economies, such as company size and age, education, previous management experience and access to finance, specific environmental factors play an important role in determining companies’ insolvency within a transition setting. These include, but are not limited to, illegal and unethical forms of behavior. Findings also reveal some important aspects of the nature of entrepreneurial behavior as influenced by the changes within the context.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study develops a method that uses surveys of company managers to measure the size of a shadow economy. Our method is based on the premise that company managers are the most likely to know how much business income and wages go unreported due to their unique position in dealing with both of these types of income. We use a range of survey design features to maximize the truthfulness of responses. Our method combines estimates of misreported business income, unregistered or hidden employees, and unreported wages, to arrive at an estimate of the size of a shadow economy as a percentage of GDP. This approach differs from most other studies of shadow economies, which largely focus on using macroindicators. We illustrate the application of our method to three new EU member countries. We also analyze the factors that influence companies' participation in the shadow economy.
