Abstract

Abstract Research on UBI has blossomed in recent years, with a particular focus on conducting experiments with policies that share features with a UBI, microsimulation analysis and public opinion surveys. However, a common drawback with many of these approaches is the difficulty with examining ‘general equilibrium’ or ‘community’ effects. Macroeconomic modelling is one tool used to explore these more difficult questions of what would happen if a UBI was implemented at the national level. In this paper, a review of existing analysis of the macroeconomic effects of a UBI offers an insight into the assumptions, approaches and results of these studies and how these are interlinked. Recommendations are made to increase the diversity of models used and the mechanisms and contexts explored.

全民基本收入的宏观经济效应:对现有证据和方法的回顾

近年来，关于全民基本收入的研究蓬勃发展，主要集中在与全民基本收入具有共同特征的政策实验、微观模拟分析和民意调查等方面。然而，这些方法的一个共同缺点是难以检验“一般均衡”或“群体”效应。宏观经济模型是一种工具，用于探索如果在国家层面实施全民基本收入会发生什么等更困难的问题。在本文中，对现有的关于全民基本收入宏观经济效应的分析进行了回顾，从而深入了解了这些研究的假设、方法和结果，以及它们是如何相互联系的。提出了建议，以增加使用的模型的多样性，并探讨了机制和背景。

期刊介绍： Basic income is a universal income grant available to every citizen without means test or work requirement. Academic discussion of basic income and related policies has been growing in the fields of economics, philosophy, political science, sociology, and public policy over the last few decades — with dozens of journal articles published each year, and basic income constituting the subject of more than 30 books in the last 10 years. In addition, the political discussion of basic income has been expanding through social organizations, NGOs and other advocacy groups. Internationally, recent years have witnessed the endorsement of basic income by grassroots movements as well as government officials in developing countries such as Brazil or South-Africa. As the community of people working on this issue has been expanding all over the world, incorporating grassroots activists, high profile academics — including several Nobel Prize winners in economics — and policymakers, the amount of high quality research on this topic has increased considerably. In the light of such extensive scholarship on this topic, the need to coordinate research efforts through a journal specifically devoted to basic income and cognate policies became pressing. Basic Income Studies (BIS) is the first academic journal to focus specifically on basic income and cognate policies.
