Research on corrupt and criminal activity has been of particular interest among social scientists for over three decades. This paper examines in terms of a simple micro-theoretic exercise an illegal firm’s decision-making behaviour. Simple models of a profit maximizing illegal industrial firm are set up and conditions under which illegalisation of work and production occur are derived. Moreover, we explore the cases of detection of the firm at different phases of its production process and also assess the impact of deterrence, if any, on the scale of illegal activity.Keywords

The paradox of the recent development experience in India is that while the pace of modernization has picked up momentum, aided, to a large extent, by the tremendous strides in the information technology, there is also a growing trend toward informalization of the work force. The dominance and growth of the informal, unorganized sector – in terms of at least employment of labour – has overshadowed the organized, formal sector. There are several empirical studies on the growth of informal sector in India and also some theoretical studies that attempt to capture the interrelationship and interaction between the formal sector and the informal sector in terms of general equilibrium analysis in the overall context of macroeconomic policy making. The present paper, however, seeks to examine the factors behind the emergence and sustenance of informal work. To be more precise, we intend to examine the issues related to the employers’ decision whether to hire/employ, if possible, workers under formal or informal arrangements. In other words, the paper primarily attempts to analyze an employer’s labour choice problem under alternative contractual arrangements.References
