Abstract

International trade plays an important role in some of the most prominent studies aimed at estimating the scale of illicit financial flows (IFF). This chapter provides a critical survey of the leading estimates of trade-based IFF, addressing separately the strengths and weaknesses of methodologies that rely on data at the country, commodity and transaction level. The current state of data availability makes a trade-off between coverage and quality of estimation inevitable, and at present no approach in this area yields sufficiently a strong, global series. There are a number of promising areas for future development, but unfortunate trade-offs will remain unless there is a step change in data availability.
