Abstract/Index

This paper studies the shadow economy in Calabria. Before the specific analysis of the region it is important to discuss the topic in general. The first part of the thesis is a literature survey of the causes of shadow economy and the main methods to calculate it. It also surveys, findings on the effect of the shadow economy on the official economy. These lessons are used to understand Calabria’s case in section 2. The second part starts with an overview of Calabria’s economic situation throughout history and then focuses on the causality between the underdevelopment of the region and the shadow economy. The main research question is about the causality between economic backwardness in Calabria and its large shadow economy. Has Calabria’s economy been slowed down by the shadow economy, or is the slow growth the reason for the shadow activities? The discussion of this issue is summarized in the last sub section (2.2.6) “analyzing the problem from a different angle”.
