李博助理教授与合作者的研究成果发表于《journal of public economics》
近日，北京大学市场经济研究中心特聘研究员李博助理教授与合作者的研究成果《a quantitative evaluation of universal basic income》在国际期刊《journal of public economics》上正式发表。
abstract：we provide a quantitative evaluation of the impact of universal basic income (ubi) as an alternative to the existing system of means-tested transfers. we explore varying levels of ubi generosity, paired with different strategies to finance it. all the reforms we consider result in welfare losses for a huge majority of initial households. moreover, these losses are increasing in ubi generosity. a reform financed with consumption taxes implies lower efficiency losses than reforms financed with income taxes, but fewer individuals benefit from it.
