摘要：

Using an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique, and the Granger causality test, this paper examines the dynamic relationship between economic growth, the size of the informal economy, and trade openness in Ghana. Our results provide evidence of a positive and bidirectional causality between the size of the informal economy and economic growth. Moreover, we find that openness to trade has a significant causal effect on the prevalence of informal activities and economic growth.
