An increase in the informal sector of the economy will lead to lower tax bases, less production of basic public infrastructure and public services, and ultimately lower economic growth.

Therefore, in this study, the effect of economic sanctions on the informal economy in the provinces of Iran is examined by the data panel method during the period 2005-2019.
