This study is primarily concerned with the representation and participation of organized labor in the activities of the National Defense Advisory Commission, the Office of Production Management, and the War Production Board.

Bericht von der Konferenz zur Ökonomie der Schattenwirtschaft des Zentrums für Interdisziplinäre Forschung der Universität Bielefeld im Oktober 1983. Mit einem Anhang, der die Konferenzunterlagen (ca.40 Papers internationaler Autoren) auflistet. Die Berichterstatter kommen u.a. zu folgendem Resumee: "A general impression that emerges from a reading of the Conference papers is that the economics of the shadow economy, as a field, is as yet in an early stage of development. We still lack a clear conceptualization of the structure of the shadow economy, both in theory and in institutional detail. However, the macroeconomic theory of the shadow economy is the area which promises the most rapid progress. Theorists seem to be in basic agreement on how to model an economy with a shadow sector. The next generation of papers in this field is therefore likely to overcome the shortcomings of the pioneering contributions presented at the Bielefeld Conference. As for measurement problems, there is still considerable disagreement on the appropriate method to be used. Moreover, the lack of good data will continue to create obstacles to the generation of reliable results." (IAB2)
