Labour. Review of Labour Economics and Industrial Relations - vol. 19 n° 4 -
"This paper presents an empirical investigation of the two faces of the Italian labour market, the dark and the regular. Results from 'exhaustive' VAR/VEC models suggest that there are no connections (causal relationships, feedback, contemporaneous correlation) between them. In this sense, we could correctly refer to undeclared work as an 'independent' side of the market. I interpret these results as providing empirical support for the ineffectiveness of labour policies in converting black economy employment into regular over the last two decades."
