From Real Freedom for All
TL;DR: Van Parijs as mentioned in this paper presents an alternative vision of the just society: a capitalist society offering a substantial and unconditional basic income to all its members, and reveals a new ideal of a free society and its meaning in the real world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is There Empirical Evidence on How the Implementation of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) Affects Labour Supply? A Systematic Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present empirical evidence from studies over the last few decades on the effects of implementation of a UBI on employment, and they apply the PRISMA methodology to better judge their validity and ensure maximum reliability of the results by avoiding biases and making the work reproducible.

A Theory of Income Taxation under Multidimensional Skill Heterogeneity
Casey Rothschild,Florian Scheuer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop a unifying framework for optimal income taxation in multi-sector economies with general patterns of externalities, where agents are characterized by an N-dimensional skill vector corresponding to intrinsic abilities in N potentially externality-causing activities.

Combining Microsimulation and Numerical Maximization to Identify Optimal Tax-Transfer Rules
Ugo Colombino,Nizamul Islam +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , a micro-econometric model is developed and estimated to simulate household labour supply decisions and the implied economic, fiscal and welfare effects, embedded into a numerical optimization routine that identifies the tax-transfer rule that maximizes a social welfare function.

Making the Switch From Joint to Individual Taxation in Luxembourg. Cost, Behavioural Response and Welfare Effects
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of a move from joint to individual taxation system using 2,276 couple household living in Luxembourg was studied, where the authors estimate simultaneously labour supply and social assistance participation, exploiting a discrete choice model.

About Basic Income
TL;DR: A Universal Basic Income (UBI) is an unconditional cash payment to individuals sufficient to meet basic needs as discussed by the authors, which is an alternative to the traditional universal basic income (BIN) guarantee.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new equilibrium simulation procedure with discrete choice models
TL;DR: In this paper, a structural interpretation of the alternative-specific constants leads to the development of a simulation procedure consistent with the comparative statics interpretation, which is illustrated with a simulation of alternative reforms of the income support policies in Italy.
Journal ArticleDOI
An unconditional basic income in the family context : labor supply and distributional effects
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of an unconditional basic income on labor supply and income distribution with a special focus on the incentives to work in the family context were analyzed, showing that the unconditional character of the basic income causes increasing family incomes, but also serious disincentives to work for secondary earners.

Evaluation of an In-Work Tax Credit Reform in Sweden: Effects on Labor Supply and Welfare Participation of Single Mothers
Rolf Aaberge,Lennart Flood +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate a recent Swedish in-work tax credit reform where they pay particular attention to labor market exclusion; i.e. individuals in as well as outside the labor force are included in the analysis.

Five Crossroads on the Way to Basic Income: An Italian Tour
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of 30 policies obtained from three basic types: conditional basic income, unconditional basic income and wage subsidies are evaluated according to four different social welfare criterion: the pure utilitarian and three different versions of a Gini-type social welfare function.
