π‘ UBI Experiments - Scale and Feasibility
This article discusses the potential effects of different scales of Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments and the challenges in implementing larger-scale trials.
Key Points:
β’ A significantly larger UBI ($10,000/month) could reveal substantial effects not seen in smaller trials.
β’ Current policy feasibility limits UBI experiments to smaller amounts ($1,000/month).
β’ AI-driven economic growth may make larger UBI experiments feasible in the future.
