ISM Professor Co-Authors Article on Digitalization and the Informal Economy

ISM Professor and Finance Chair Christophe Schinckus co-authored an article in the Journal of Industrial and Business Economics titled "Digitalization and Informal Economy: A global evidence of Internet usage." The study explores the influence of internet usage on the shadow economy across 114 economies from 2002 to 2015, revealing notable insights into the nuanced relationship between digitalization and economic activities. The research, crucial for policymakers and economic strategists, indicates that internet usage generally negatively impacts the shadow economy, though this influence manifests distinctively across various economic and institutional environments.
