Claims That Don’t Need a Test

Karl Widerquist

Chapter Chapter 14 in A Critical Analysis of Basic Income Experiments for Researchers, Policymakers, and Citizens, 2018, pp 105-108 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter identifies several empirical claims that should not be ignored by people designing, conducting, and writing about Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments but that cannot be tested on an experimental scale. Evidence about these claims will have to come from other sources, which will have to be combined with experimental evidence to connect experimental findings to the most important questions for the public evaluation of UBI as a policy.
