The idea for this research is to examine the possible effects of a universal basic income (UBI) on labor market outcomes. The research will employ a quasi-experimental design, using a sample of individuals from a country or region that has implemented a UBI program and comparing their labor market outcomes to a control group of individuals from a similar country or region that has not implemented a UBI program.
To identify the effects of UBI on labor market outcomes, the research will use a difference-in-differences approach, which involves comparing changes in outcomes for the treatment group (those receiving UBI) to changes in outcomes for the control group over the same time period. This will allow us to isolate the effects of UBI on labor market outcomes, controlling for other factors that may affect these outcomes.
To measure labor market outcomes, the research will use a variety of indicators, including employment rates, wages, and hours worked. The research will also consider potential spillover effects of UBI on non-labor income sources, such as entrepreneurial activity and asset accumulation.
Overall, this research will contribute to our understanding of the potential impacts of UBI on labor market outcomes and inform policy debates on the feasibility and effectiveness of UBI as a means of addressing income inequality and poverty.
