Our study shows that underreporting of income occurs among households with income from self-employment. We do not find any significant underreporting activity by the employees working in the private sector. The main findings indicate that roughly one-fourth of the total income of self-employed households is not reported in Poland. This share varies between 20 to 30 percent from 2005 to 2017 with a decreasing trend.}, type={Article}, title={Estimate of the Underground Economy in Poland Based on Household Expenditures and Incomes}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/126295/mainFile.pdf}, doi={10.24425/cejeme.2023.144997}, keywords={underground economy, underreporting of income, income elasticity, food consumption, self-employed households}, }
