There is growing interest in taxing the informal economy in developing countries. This paper examines the case for giving it greater priority, and suggests that policymakers and researchers should focus less on technical design issues, and more on strategies to encourage compliance, and to increase political and institutional incentives for reform.

Summary by Sue Unsworth.

Ce document examine la nécessité de lui accorder une plus grande priorité, et il suggère que les politiciens et les chercheurs se concentrent moins sur les questions de conception technique et plus sur les stratégies qui visent à encourager la conformité et les réformes politiques et institutionnelles.
