Chapter Chapter 16 in A Critical Analysis of Basic Income Experiments for Researchers, Policymakers, and Citizens, 2018, pp 115-129 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses claims that can be examined by Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments but shows that each of them can only be tested partially, indirectly, and/or inconclusively. It discusses the implications these limitations have for conducting a UBI experiment and communicating its results.
