?:abstract
  • This chapter evaluates two contrasting policy approaches for tackling self-employment in the informal economy. The conventional "hard" approach has sought to increase the perceived penalties and risk of detection to deter self-employment in the informal economy. Recently, an alternative "soft" approach has emerged that has sought to improve vertical trust (in government) and horizontal trust (that others are acting lawfully) to elicit voluntary compliance. Reporting evidence from a 2019 Eurobarometer survey in three Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland and Sweden), the finding is that the likelihood of engaging in self-employment in the informal economy is not significantly associated with the hard approach of increasing the perceived penalties and risk of being caught but is significantly associated with the soft approach of improving vertical and horizontal trust. The implications for theory and policy are discussed. (xsd:string)
