A UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME FOR BRAZIL: FISCAL AND DISTRIBUTIONAL EFFECTS OF ALTERNATIVE SCHEMES
ABSTRACT The Covid-19 pandemic outbreak has led to an increasing interest in universal basic income (UBI) proposals, as it exposed the inadequacy of traditional welfare systems to provide basic financial security to a large share of the population. In this paper, we use a static tax-benefit microsimulation model to analyse the fiscal and distributional effects of the hypothetical implementation in Brazil of alternative UBI schemes that partially replace the existing tax-transfer system. The results indicate that introducing a UBI/Flat Tax system in the country could be both extremely effective in reducing poverty and inequality and economically viable.
期刊介绍:
Revista de Economia Contemporânea to publish original contributions in Economic Theory, Applied Economy, Economic History, History of Economic Thought, Economic Methodology and other pertinent economic matters. Abstract: Brief abstract - The Revista de Economia Contemporânea (REC) began publication in the second half of 1997 in the Economy Institute of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Its articles strive to contribute to the academic debate among the various areas of interest in economics. On account of its self-criticism and debating tradition, the magazine wishes to be plural and open to dialogue with the present-day different theoretical tendencies in the expanding doctrine of economics.
