Abstract

This article argues that informal entrepreneurship in Croatia is part of a wider problem of undeclared work arising from incongruence between formal and informal institutions. It is therefore argued that settings similar to the one Croatia finds itself in should focus on indirect approaches that seek to improve the tax morale of enterprise owners, as well as its citizens more generally. Specific recommendations emphasising the improvement of formal institutions (such as improving administrative capabilities and increasing transparency) as well as awareness raising and knowledge improvement of citizens are outlined as based on the identified problems.
