Abstract

Abstract The paper highlights the need to discuss the norm of reciprocity in the context of basic income experiments. Considering how the norm of reciprocity is an important objection to basic income, both at a normative level, but also in empirical discussions, a case is made for considering it in basic income experiments. The paper proposes several hypotheses on basic income and reciprocity and concludes with two distinct points: the first is focused on what in fact experiments could be telling us about behaviours that seem relevant to reciprocity, and how this could enhance our understanding of both basic income and the norm of reciprocity. The second point is a reflection on how our theoretical debate is shaped on ideal settings, whereas experiments take place in real-world conditions, hence non-ideal ones. This reflection might contribute to the need to reframe our theoretical account of the norm of reciprocity.

基本收入实验:扩大全民基本收入与互惠之争

摘要本文强调了在基本收入实验背景下讨论互惠规范的必要性。考虑到互惠规范是如何在规范层面上以及在经验讨论中对基本收入的重要反对意见，本文提出了在基本收入实验中考虑互惠规范的案例。这篇论文提出了几个关于基本收入和互惠的假设，并得出了两个不同的结论:第一个重点是实验实际上可以告诉我们什么与互惠相关的行为，以及这如何能增强我们对基本收入和互惠规范的理解。第二点是反思我们的理论辩论是如何在理想环境中形成的，而实验是在现实环境中进行的，因此是非理想的。这种反思可能有助于重新构建我们对互惠规范的理论解释。

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.
