Sažetak
The substantial improvements in development information and
communication technologies led many economic and non-economic implications for the countries and in turn motivated the
researchers to question the various effects of ICT especially in the
light of economic crime. This study explores the short and long
run influence of information and communication technologies on
the shadow economy in 11 post-transition EU members over
1996-2015 period through second generation panel cointegration
and causality tests regarding the cross-sectional dependence. The
economic analyses disclosed that ICT indicators and human development had significant effects on the size of shadow economy in
both short and long run. It was found that growing ICTs lead to
reduction on the size of the shadow economy; in addition, human
capital improvement policies serve as an important factor when
tackling the shadow economy.
