Excited to present our paper with Michele Gubello at this year’s IEA! We explore the welfare impact and cost of introducing a UBI. Our findings show that doubling existing welfare benefits can achieve similar reductions in inequality and poverty with a UBI—at a much lower cost.
@isweconomics.bsky.socialNext up, Theano Kakoulidou investigates the viability of introducing a Universal Basic Income in Ireland. This would be a costly but effective way of reducing poverty and inequality.
