abstract: 'Advocates for a Universal Basic Income (UBI) argue that it would provide
citizens with a basic foundation for financial security, boost the
economy, alleviate poverty, encourage entrepreneurship, reduce crime,
and insulate the employment sector against job losses due to automation.
Still, the idea lags in popularity in the United States compared to
existing cash policies such as the annual Earned Income Tax Credit and
one-time COVID-19 relief packages. We hypothesize that this disparity is
related to predicted uses of a UBI in comparison to annual or lump sum
cash programs. In this survey of 836 Americans, we explore whether
predicted behavioral responses to four randomly assigned hypothetical
cash transfer scenarios vary across the domains of amount and frequency.
Respondents are more likely to associate monthly payments with work
disincentives and lump-sum transfers with debt repayment. Implications
for UBI advocates include the need to continue educating the public on
the empirical associations between UBI, employment, and expenditures.'
