Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• We analyze the effect of coups d’état on the size of the informal economy in developing countries. • Coups d’état expand the informal economy in developing countries. • This result is highly robust. • The detrimental effect of coups d’état holds for both successful and failed coups and varies across key structural factors. • Higher external debt, lower gross fixed capital formation, and the erosion of democracy constitute the main transmission channels.
