Abstract
- The informal sector occupies an important place in developing economies. This paper attempts both to estimate the size of the informal sector in Côte d’Ivoire over the period 1987-2020 and to determine its trend. The results obtained using the MIMIC method reveal that the size of the informal sector is equal to 42.35% of GDP in 2020, and also reveal that there is a growth and a positive trend of the informal sector in Côte d’Ivoire. Moreover, tax pressure, inflation and corruption play a determining role in the development of informal activities in Côte d’Ivoire.
