The size and development of the shadow economy in Serbia and other Central and Eastern European countries are estimated using two different methods (the MIMIC method and household-tax-compliance method). Micro-estimates are based on a special survey of business entities in Serbia, which for the first time allows us to explore the shadow economy from the perspective of enterprises and entrepreneurs. The authors identify the types of shadow economy at work in business entities, the determinants of shadow economy participation, and the impact of competition from the informal sector on businesses. Readers will learn both about the potential fiscal effects of reducing the shadow economy to the levels observed in more developed countries and the effects that formalization of the shadow economy can have on economic growth. 0aDevelopment economics. 0aEconometrics. 0aEconomic growth. 0aEconomic policy. 0aMacroeconomics. 0aPublic finance.14aEconomic Policy.24aDevelopment Economics.24aEconometrics.24aEconomic Growth.24aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics.24aPublic Economics.1 aKrstić, Gorana.1 aSchneider, Friedrich.40uhttps://hdl.loc.gov/loc.gdc/gdcebookspublic.2019755332
