Illegal activities such as tax evasion and corruption and the shadow economy are increasingly being viewed as impediments to sustainable economic growth by the World Bank among others. Pickhardt (Chemnitz U. of Technology, Germany), past chairman of the International Network for Economic Research (INFER), and Shinnick (economics, U. College Cork, Ireland) introduce ten chapters by researchers and policymakers that focus on the extent and impact of such activities globally (estimates are made for 145 countries); how increased focus on corporate governance issues and collective persuasion may help to reduce them; and empirical studies on perceptions of such activities and motivations to engage in them. The volume derives from INFER's 8th Annual Conference held at Shinnick's campus in 2006. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
