Minneapolis Guaranteed Basic Income Pilot Location: Minneapolis, MN Participants: 200 Amount: $500/mo Duration: 2 yrs Design: RCT EMPLOYMENT DID NOT DECEASE Food and housing security, financial security and psychological wellness all significantly improved. www.minneapolisfed.org/research/ins...

Our findings show that cash assistance stabilizes households’ economic lives (food security,
financial security, and housing stability) and improves direct reports of well-being (subjective or
psychological) with no evidence of a reduction in labor supply. This pattern of findings matches
several other randomized GBI evaluations. Comparing across these studies suggests that the
benefits of basic income in terms of stability and well-being are slightly larger for populations with
lower baseline income and worse outcomes, and that these groups also tend to have null or slightly
positive (but not statistically significant) labor supply effects. Our population is on the more
disadvantaged end of this spectrum.

Table 4 presents results for three measures of economic security: food security (panel A), housing
stability (panel B), and financial security (panel C). We find immediate, large, and robust positive effects of basic income payments on food security. At baseline only about one-third of respondents in both groups are recorded as food secure, but after 6 months of GBI payments and in every wave thereafter, about half of the treatment group reports being food secure. The estimated average treatment effect parameter is between 15 and 20 percentage points across all specifications in all periods, and every estimate except one is statistically significantly different from zero after
adjusting for multiple hypothesis testing.

One clear behavioral prediction from economic models is that an increase in unearned income
should reduce labor supply. This is a direct consequence of valuing leisure time. Static and
dynamic models differ on the magnitude of their prediction for short-run labor supply behavior
but not in their sign. We do not find evidence that GBI payments caused recipients to reduce their
labor supply. In fact, panel D of Figure 3 and Table 5 show that our labor supply index—which
combines extensive and intensive margin measures—is higher among treated respondents than
control respondents. These results are not generally distinguishable from zero and our specifications that use baseline employment information (models 2 and 3) find smaller results than
unadjusted comparisons or ones adjusted only for demographic information.

Great to see new reports/studies flagging cobenefits of nature restoration such as peace (below) & "a sense of identity or well-being + spiritual experiences" phys.org/news/2025-01..., but these are still very anthropocentric. It needs doing also for the sake of our wider kin, the more-than-humans!
