What do we really know about the drivers of undeclared work? An evaluation of the current state of affairs using machine learning
What Lies Behind Substantial Differences in Covid-19 Vaccination Rates Between EU Member States
Background: Despite the billions of doses at disposal, less than three-quarters of EU citizens received a COVID-19 vaccine by the end of 2021. The situation is particularly worrying in transition societies, which experience much stronger opposition to vaccination compared to their Western counterparts. To understand whether and to what extent this has to do with the socialist legacy, in this paper we explore wider economic, political, and cultura…
Beyond a Deterrence Approach towards the Undeclared Economy
Until now, the undeclared economy has been tackled in Balkan countries by increasing the penalties and risk of detection so as to deter participation. Recently however, calls have been made for a new more indirect approach that improves tax morale in order to foster a culture of commitment to compliance. The aim of this paper is to evaluate these contrasting policy approaches. Reporting evidence from 1,018 face-to-face interviews conducted in Bul…
Explaining Participation in the Informal Economy in Post-Socialist Societies
This paper proposes a new way of explaining the informal economy in post-socialist societies. Drawing upon evidence from 1, 000 face-to-face interviews conducted in Croatia during 2013, and using stepwise Tobit regression analysis, the finding is that after controlling for other explanatory variables, participation in the informal economy results from the asymmetry between the norms, values and beliefs of citizens (informal institutions) and the …
The importance of government incentives for housing savings in Croatia
This article analyses the determinants of housing savings (the contractual saving scheme) in Croatia by applying Vector Autoregression (VAR) methodology on monthly data for the period 2000–2013. The results show that the selected macroeconomic indicators (wages, interest rate, stock exchange index-CROBEX, availability of loans and unemployment rate) do not influence the housing savings market dynamics. Moreover, the housing savings system proves …
