ABSTRACT

Regional development now encompasses inclusive growth so that welfare spending becomes a potentially important policy for regions with devolved powers. Universal Basic Income (UBI), an unconditional payment to all citizens, has been gaining traction, including internationally. We provide a system-wide analysis of a region-specific UBI for Scotland on the level and distribution of regional activity. Using both micro- and macroeconomic models, we find that although UBI has a beneficial effect on equity among households, it may adversely impact the level of economic activity unless there is a social contract in place and/or there is a substantial stimulus to productivity.

作为区域发展政策工具的普遍基本收入:苏格兰的微观宏观经济分析

摘要

地区发展现在包括包容性增长,因此福利支出成为权力下放地区潜在的重要政策。普遍基本收入 (UBI) 是向所有公民提供的无条件支付,一直受到关注,包括在国际上。我们针对区域活动的水平和分布对苏格兰特定区域的 UBI 进行了系统范围的分析。使用微观和宏观经济模型,我们发现尽管 UBI 对家庭公平有积极影响,但它可能对经济活动水平产生不利影响,除非有社会契约和/或对生产力有实质性刺激。
