Abstract

This chapter explains why Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments cannot resolve the public disagreement about UBI. It argues not only that experiments make a small contribution to the large body of available evidence, but also that the discussion turns less on remaining unknowns about UBI’s effects than on the ethical desirability of UBI’s known effects.
