Abstract

Shadow economy is a negative phenomenon, which exists in all countries of the world, in varying proportions in GDP, being an unavoidable component of a country's economy. Estimating the underground economy is a difficult issue, the real size of the underground economy remains unknown and the controlling of it is almost impossible.
