Abstract

However, the effect of cultural variables such as trust on informality and, in particular, informal entrepreneurship, have been less explored. Using unique cross-national data, we study the influence of generalized trust on underground entrepreneurship. We find that nations with higher trust are associated with less informal entrepreneurship.
