Abstract

The shadow economy exists in all countries (developed and developing). This sector, which in many countries escapes any measure, causes distortions in the formal economy. It is to reduce its effect on the economy that this study was initiated to identify its determinants and its size. For the econometric analysis the MIMIC approach was preferred. The results of the study show that of the four causal variables identified (labor force, growth rate of the economy, financial development, and tax burden) only two have significant effects on the size of the informal sector: financial development and tax burden. The latter two variables have positive multiplier effects on the informal economy: 1% increase in one of these determinants could increase the size of the informal economy by almost 2%. Over the study period, 2000-2020, the size of the informal economy (% of GDP) in Côte d'Ivoire is in the range [41; 47].
