THE SHADOW ECONOMY AND MORALS: A NOTE by

EKKEHART SCHLICHT Darmstadt I n s t i t u t e of Technology

ABSTRACT: If the established r u l e s are obeyed spontaneously i n an econ­omy, t h i s increases economic e f f i c i e n c y since the u n c e r t a i n t i e s , moni­torin g costs and incentive problems induced by opportunism can be avoid­ed. Opportunism w i l l be increased by increasing the incentives f o r un­lawful behaviour, however, and a s l i g h t increase i n these i n c e n t i v e s might cause a cumulative and s e l f - n o u r i s h i n g breakdown of morals. The dangers of the growing shadow economy are louring here.

1. Transaction Costs, Morals, and Economic E f f i c i e n c y

Modern economics has assimilated Coases (1937) fundamental i n s i g h t that transaction costs are paramount for understanding the formation and functioning of economic i n s t i t u t i o n s (Williamson, 1975).

Transaction costs, however, are heavily influenced by morals: If people observe the rules spontaneously, t h i s saves c o n t r o l costs and increases economic e f f i c i e n c y thereby. Hence working morals, tax morals, business morals, and the spontaneous observation of property r i g h t s are important fa c t o r s of economic e f f i c i e n c y . Think on how our economy would look l i k e i f everybody behaved absolutely o p p o r t u n i s t i c a l l y : Half of the population at l e a s t would be employed as policemen, and they would be corrupt"^: Transaction costs might well become p r o h i b i ­t i v e l y large, rendering the market system, as compared to other systems of economic co-ordination, hopelessly i n e f f i c i e n t . These considerations lead me, as an economist who i s concerned with economic e f f i c i e n c y , to worry about morals and to present some thoughts on the impact of the emerging shadow economy on morals.

I would l i k e to thank an anonymous referee for h e l p f u l h i n t s .

See also S c h l i c h t (1983), section 1.1. Note, by the way, that markets clo s e s t to perfect competition, l i k e the stockmarket, are h e a v i l y i n s t i t u t i o n a l i z e d (I owe t h i s observation to R. Coase) and that the proper functioning of other markets hinges c r i t i c a l l y upon the observation of c e r t a i n conventions, see Akerlof (1976).

2. Moral E x t e r n a l i t i e s

Exceptions undermine p r i n c i p l e s , and rules get enfeebled i f i t becomes customary to disobey them according to circumstances. The great dangers associated with the emerging shadow economy seems to me to be of t h i s kind. Since the growth of the shadow economy renders the v i o l a t i o n of laws customary, t h i s weakens the binding force of laws, i n general: In t h i s sense, we ought to expect moral e x t e r n a l i t i e s leading i n e v i ­t a b l y to the necessity of enforcing the observation of laws i n general more c l o s e l y . This leads to increasing cost of p o l i c i n g which are sunk.

In a wider p o l i t i c a l sense, there are a d d i t i o n a l s o c i a l costs associated with such a t r a n s i t i o n : An increasing degree of s u r v e i l l a n c e r e s t r i c t s freedom, changes the p o l i t i c a l climate and induces consid­erable psychic costs f o r the population at large. In a d d i t i o n s o c i a l psychology p r e d i c t s that an increasing degree of c o n t r o l w i l l undermine the i n t r i n s i c motivation to law-obedience s t i l l f u r t h e r , e s t a b l i s h i n g another one-way road to serfdom.

In a more r e s t r i c t e d economic sense the erosion of law obedience w i l l induce a s h i f t of the tax burden away from a c t i v i t i e s which are d i f f i c u l t to monitor, and towards more e a s i l y c o n t r o l l a b l e a c t i v i t i e s . The associated a l l o c a t i v e d i s t o r t i o n s increase dead-weight losses. Although one could argue that a decreasing degree of law-obedience decreases the power of the state, I think i t i s a doubtful argument to maintain that t h i s w i l l decrease the scale of government a c t i v i t i e s and thereby decrease dead-weight losses. But even i f t h i s holds true, i t might be at most a t h i r d best s o l u t i o n having to put up with the a d d i t i o n a l costs of s u r v e i l l a n c e and d i s t o r t i o n s .

3. A Model of the Breakdown of Morals

In economics we are accustomed to think i n terms of marginal changes. Hence we might be led to think that s l i g h t l y i n creasing incentives to unlawful behaviour w i l l only lead to a s l i g h t l y l e s s e r degree of law-obedience.

I would l i k e to argue that t h i s i s not n e c e s s a r i l y the case and that, at a c e r t a i n point, a cumulative and s e l f - s u s t a i n i n g breakdown of morals might be i n i t i a t e d by a small increase i n incentives to behave un-lawfully.

Page 7: of the Shadow Economy · "The Behavior of Tax Evaders" * BENJAMINI, Yael, MAITAL, Shlomo: "Optimal Tax Evasion & Optimal Tax Evasion Policy: Behavioral Aspects SCHLICHT, Ekkehart:

Consider a c e r t a i n l e g a l or customary rule l i k e making a correct tax return, and assume that the degree of observation of t h i s rule can be measured by a number a^etO, 1] where a^ = 1 denotes s t r i c t obedience and a^ = 0 denotes non-obedience, and the subscript i r e f e r s to the number of the p a r t i c u l a r i n d i v i d u a l chosen.

We assume the i n d i v i d u a l to s e l e c t i t s a^ optimally such as to maximize net gains which are c a l c u l a t e d by taking into account psychic as well as non-psychic advantages and disadvantages.

Denote the average degree of law-obedience i n the economy as a whole by a. Reference group theory suggests that the psychic costs of disobedience r i s e with increasing a"** ̂ : People t r y not to deviate from established r u l e s . Hence we ought to expect a^ to be an i n c r e a s i n g function of a.

(In a d d i t i o n , there might be d i r e c t advantages f o r reference group behaviour: Think about the observation of t r a f f i c l i g h t s . If i t i s custom not to observe them, the other d r i v e r s w i l l be on t h e i r guard, and the p o t e n t i a l damage due to disregarding the l i g h t s w i l l be smaller than otherwise.)

Furthermore we might assume that the degree of obedience a^ i s affe c t e d by an e x t e r n a l l y f i x e d economic incentive e, embodied, f o r instance, i n a tax law, which establishes an a d d i t i o n a l advantage f o r

non-obedience. Hence we are led to write:

(1) a i = f 1 ( a , e ) a ± , a e(0, 1)

> 0, < 0 C a l c u l a t i n g the average over i n d i v i d u l a s leads to a new average degree of law obedience (2) â = f (a,e) â , a eCO, 1)

f l > °' f2 < 0

It i s assumed that some spontaneous (or random) instances of law obe­dience occur even for a = 0, and some disobedience occurs even f o r a = 1, amounting to

(3) f ( 0 , e) > 0, f ( l , e) < 1

Consider now the change of an over time.

See S c h l i c h t (1983) for some underlying theory and references. 2 ) The following analysis i s a modification of the theory developed

i n S c h l i c h t (1981).

It need not be unique, however. On the contrary: A possible shape of f i s as depicted i n Figure 1:

At t h i s point, a s l i g h t increase of the economic incentive w i l l decrease the degree of law-obedience a l i t t l e ( f 2 • d e ) . This reduces the average degree of law-obedience. Through reference group behaviour, t h i s reduces law-obedience s t i l l f u r t h e r , and a cumulative and s e l f - n o u r i s h i n g break-

to reach the high e q u i l i b r i u m i n a^ (Figure 1). Hence the e s t a b l i s h ­ment of adequate morals, as long as t h e i r observation i s strongly de­termined by reference group behaviour, might prove to be d i f f i c u l t and c o s t l y . In t h i s sense, the breakdown of morals caused by s l i g h t economic incentives might be a c o s t l y a f f a i r .

4. What Can be Done?

The growth of the shadow economy seems to be at l e a s t p a r t i a l l y caused by economic i n c e n t i v e s . The growth of the shadow economy, however, weakens the observation of l e g a l r u l e s everywhere. This induces moral e x t e r n a l i t i e s : e f f i c i e n c y losses within the l e g a l sector of the economy. As i l l u s t r a t e d i n the l a s t s e c t i o n , t h i s might lead, at worst, to a coll a p s e of morals.

To suppress t h i s development by power of p o l i c e might be counter­productive since i t undermines the i n t r i n s i c motivation to observe the l a w 1 ) .

The other a l t e r n a t i v e i s , of course, to reduce the gains from unlawful behaviour: Individuals ought to decide on t h e i r s o c i a l insurance con­t r i b u t i o n s independently of t h e i r reported income, f o r instance.

To prevent massive moral e x t e r n a l i t i e s i t seems to be advisable, furthermore to l e g a l i z e those shadow a c t i v i t i e s which cannot be con­t r o l l e d anyhow and which are accepted as legitimate i n s o c i e t y . By e r e c t i n g a fence i n a contested t e r r i t o r y one might hope to reduce f i g h t s whereas a fence somewhere i n the middle of the v i l l a g e of one of the p a r t i e s w i l l simply increase transaction costs, and w i l l appear as being rather u n f a i r .
