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.'
