Resumen

El objetivo de este trabajo es contribuir a la evidencia empírica existente acerca de los factores que in- tervienen en la economía sumergida. Las estimaciones corresponden al período 1999-2015 y 82 países. Este artículo analiza el efecto de las variables culturales de Hofstede y otros factores socioeconómicos en la economía sumergida, introduciendo la variable espacial como una variable explicativa adicional. Como novedad, nuestra estimación utiliza un modelo de panel que incorpora la técnica del filtrado espacial. Este estudio confirma que la cultura nacional y el desarrollo de un país son factores impor- tantes para explicar los diferentes niveles de la economía sumergida.
