The Monetary Method to Measure the Size of the Shadow Economy

Abstract

Résumé La méthode dite monétaire est une approche communément utilisée dans la littérature pour mesurer la taille de l’économie informelle. Cette approche est cependant basée sur l’hypothèse que les agents utilisent de l’argent en liquide dans les transactions qu’ils souhaitent dissimuler aux autorités fiscales. Notre article (i) fournit une procédure formelle qui donne toutes les étapes nécessaires à la mise en œuvre empirique de la méthode monétaire et qui rend plus claires les hypothèses requises pour cette méthode ; (ii) montre que la méthode monétaire implique que l’élasticité-revenu de la demande de monnaie est égale à un alors même qu’elle a été utilisée dans des applications empiriques dans lesquelles cette élasticité était manifestement différente de un ; (iii) montre que, lorsque la fonction de demande de monnaie utilisée pour estimer la taille de l’économie informelle inclut la variable dépendante retardée, alors il est nécessaire de supposer que les conditions initiales sont connues comme dans la méthode monétaire classique.
