By definition the shadow economy cannot be measured precisely; it requires some cunning economic detective work. Our estimate is based on a new study by Friedrich Schneider, an economics professor at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria. He has attempted to measure the size of the shadow economy in no fewer than 76 developed and emerging economies.
