El. knyga: Entrepreneurship and the Shadow Economy

This edited volume on Entrepreneurship and the Shadow Economy represents a welcome addition to the portfolio of books on entrepreneurship that Edward Elgar has assembled. With respect to academic books, many publishers emphasise that names sell books and, in this particular case, all three co-editors are well known for their work on the shadow economy. -- David Smallbone, International Small Business Journal 'Understanding the shadow economy is of major importance for both, scholars of many disciplines, and policy makers around the world. This edited volume is what we have been waiting for. It provides an excellent overview of a phenomenon that should not be neglected in any analysis of the shadow economy, namely entrepreneurship. Readers will get a grasp of how to measure the shadow economy, how it relates to entrepreneurial activities, and how to cope with it.' -- Klarita Gerxhani, European University Institute, Italy 'This edited volume discusses entrepreneurship and / in the shadow economy, emphasizing its potential, the negative effects on economic wellbeing and the society and giving an overview about policy measures. The editors have assembled a group of knowledgeable scholars in the area. With its balanced perspective, I believe this book will be of great value to entrepreneurship scholars as well as to policy-makers wishing to learn about the newest research insights about the shadow economy.' -- Friederike Welter, Institut fur Mittelstandsforschung (IfM) Bonn and University of Siegen, Germany
