This paper presents a consistent structural equation (SEM) estimate of the size and development of the shadow economy and of do-it-yourself (DIY) activities in Germany from 1970 to 2005. By 2005, they reached a level of about 17% and 5% of official GDP. While the shadow economy has regularly increased over the years, DIY activities -though quite sizable - have remained more or less constant since the early 1990s. The driving forces for the shadow economy are regulation and tax burden, whereas for DIY activities the level of unemployment is the main factor.
The Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics provides a specialized forum for the publication of research in the field of modern institutional economics. It continues with modern analytical methods, the tradition of the Zeitschrift für die gesamte Staatswissenschaft, one of the oldest reviews in the field of Political Economy, founded in 1844. http://www.mohr.de/en/journals/economics/journal-of-institutional-and-theoretical-economics-jite/journal.html
The Mohr Siebeck Publishing Company, www.mohr.de, founded in 1801, publishes monographs, series and journals in the fields of theology, Jewish studies, religious studies, philosophy, sociology, history, law and economics. The authors of this renowned publishing company include scholars and researchers who are known throughout the entire world. Mohr Siebeck’s oldest journal is the Archiv für die civilistische Praxis founded in 1821. In addition to the predominantly German-language journals, Mohr Siebeck also publishes two English-language journals in economics, the FinanzArchiv/Public Finance Analysis (founded as Finanzarchiv in 1884) and the Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics, (founded as Zeitschrift für die gesamte Staatswissenschaft in 1844). Another English-language journal is Jewish Studies Quarterly (founded in 1993). Many other journals have a high proportion of English-language articles, e.g. Archiv des Völkerrechts (founded in 1948), Early Christianty (founded in 2010), and Rabels Zeitschrift für ausländisches und internationals Privatrecht (founded in 1927).
