Abstract
This study examines the shadow economy and corruption relationship throughout seven Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) countries. Utilising shadow economy data provided by Medina and Schneider (2017; 2019) and Transparency International's corruption perception indicator between 2000-2017, regression analysis suggests that there is a statistically significant relationship between corruption and shadow economy, and additionally, that Soviet heritage plays a role in the determination of this relationship. Results show that for post-Soviet ECO nations, the relationship is complimentary, while for ‘Other’ ECO nations, the relationship is substitutive.
