In the recent years, many studies have showed that weak institutions and the extent of economic crimes in developing countries are one of the deep causes of their poor economic performances. Debt crises which are among other consequences of a low of public levies are accentuated in developing countries, in particular with the development of what is generally known as shadow economy. This research aims to study the potential link existing between economic crimes and the financing of development in developing countries. The economic crimes sector, which is an essential component of the underground economy has a negative effect on the tax mobilization, by cons, the quality of governance is a positive factor in favor of state budgets. This sector is an important fiscal centre which unfortunately for both social and political reasons, sometimes bears fiscal charges beyond its real contributory capacities. This study aims in particularly to investigate the impact of economic crimes on Financing for Development in approximately one hundred developing countries through the channel of public resource mobilization. The main results of empirical analyses using data covering the period 1996-2012 confirm that, it is better for developing countries to fight against economic crimes playing on improving the quality of institutional governance to ensure economic growth sustainability.

Abstract
In the recent years, many studies have showed that weak institutions and the extent of economic crimes in developing countries are one of the deep causes of their poor economic performances. Debt crises which are among other consequences of a low of public levies are accentuated in developing countries, in particular with the development of what is generally known as shadow economy. This research aims to study the potential link existing between economic crimes and the financing of development in developing countries. The economic crimes sector, which is an essential component of the underground economy has a negative effect on the tax mobilization, by cons, the quality of governance is a positive factor in favor of state budgets. This sector is an important fiscal centre which unfortunately for both social and political reasons, sometimes bears fiscal charges beyond its real contributory capacities. This study aims in particularly to investigate the impact of economic crimes on Financing for Development in approximately one hundred developing countries through the channel of public resource mobilization. The main results of empirical analyses using data covering the period 1996-2012 confirm that, it is better for developing countries to fight against economic crimes playing on improving the quality of institutional governance to ensure economic growth sustainability.

Abstract: (french)
Ces dernières années, de nombreux travaux ont permis de montrer que le retard des pays en développement (PED) en matière de développement économique, serait dû en particulier à l'inefficacité de leurs institutions et à l'ampleur des crimes économiques. Les crises d'endettement conséquences entre autres d'un faible niveau des prélèvements publics se sont accentuées dans les PED notamment avec le développement de plus en plus grand de ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler l'économie de l'ombre. Ce travail de recherche a pour objectif global d'étudier le lien potentiel existant entre les crimes économiques et le financement du développement les PED. Le secteur des crimes économiques, composante essentielle de l'économie souterraine exerce un effet négatif sur la mobilisation fiscale, par contre, la qualité de la gouvernance constitue un facteur positif en faveur des budgets des États. Ce secteur constitue un important foyer fiscal qui, malheureusement pour des raisons aussi bien sociales que politiques supporte souvent des charges fiscales en deçà de ses capacités contributives réelles. Cette étude vise particulièrement à étudier l'impact des crimes économique sur le financement du développement dans environ cent PED via le canal de la mobilisation des ressources publiques. Les principaux résultats issus d'analyses empiriques à base de données couvrant la période 1996-2012, confirment l'idée selon laquelle il est dans l'intérêt des PED de lutter contre les crimes économiques en jouant sur l'amélioration de la qualité des institutions de gouvernance afin d'assurer une soutenabilité de la croissance économique.
