by Summary:
Finnish experiment. The final results from Finland’s experiment are now in, and the findings are intriguing: the basic income in Finland led to a small increase in employment, significantly boosted multiple measures of the recipients’ well-being, and reinforced positive individual and societal feedback loops. The numbers look pretty good. Can it be generalized? This would not suggest that a UBI is a substitute for an MMT JG, however. The rise in employment was small. There would still be a buffer stock of unemployed without a JG. Do the results imply that a UBI is the only alternative? Would a means-tested basic income perform the same or better?
