Unconditional Basic Income: An Economic Perspective

Luke Haywood

No 33, DIW Roundup: Politik im Fokus from DIW Berlin, German Institute for Economic Research

Abstract: A wide range of public figures from the social sciences, politics and business have proposed paying every citizen a fixed amount of income without means testing or work requirement. The idea is fascinating. Most recently, a widely reported crowd-funding initiative from Berlin collected €12,000 to finance one year’s worth of unconditional basic income for a randomly selected individual.
