The Macroeconomic Effects of Universal Basic Income Programs
The Macroeconomic Effects of Universal Basic Income Programs Andre´ Victor Doherty Luduvice† University of Pennsylvania Job Market Paper This version: December 15, 2019 (click here for the latest version) Abstract What are the consequences of a nationwide reform of a transfer system based on means-testing towards one of unconditional transfers? I answer this question with a quantitative model to assess the general equilibrium, inequality, and welfare effects of substituting the current U.S. in- come security system with a Universal Basic Income (UBI) policy. To do so, I develop an overlap- ping generations model with idiosyncratic income risk that incorporates intensive and extensive margins of labor supply, on-the-job learning, and child-bearing costs. The tax-transfer system closely mimics the U.S. design. I calibrate the model to the U.S. economy and conduct coun- terfactual analyses that implement reforms towards a UBI. I find that an expenditure-neutral reform has moderate impacts on the labor supply response of agents but induces aggregate cap- ital and output to grow due to larger precautionary savings. A UBI of $ 1,000 monthly requires a substantial increase in the tax rate of consumption used to clear the government budget and leads to an overall decrease of the macroeconomic aggregates, stemming from a sharp drop in labor. In both cases, the economy has more disposable income but less consumption at the bottom of their distributions. The UBI economy constitutes a welfare loss at the transition if expenditure-neutral and results in a gain in the second scenario. Despite relative losses, a ma- jority of newborn households supports both UBI reforms. -
Slovenia Have Been Remarkable
Mrak/Rojec/Silva-Jáur lovenia’s achievements over the past several years Slovenia have been remarkable. Thirteen years after Public Disclosure Authorized independence from the former Socialist Federative egui Republic of Yugoslavia, the country is among the most advanced of all the transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe and a leading candidate for accession to the European Union Sin May 2004. Remarkably, however, very little has been published Slovenia documenting this historic transition. Fr om Y In the only book of its kind, the contributors—many of them the architects of Slovenia’s current transformation—analyze the country’s three-fold ugoslavia to the Eur transition from a socialist to a market economy, from a regionally based to a national economy, and from being a part of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia to being an independent state and a member of the European Union (EU). With chapters from Slovenia’s president, a former vice prime minister, Public Disclosure Authorized the current and previous ministers of finance, the minister of European affairs, the current and former governors of the Bank of Slovenia, as well as from leading development scholars in Slovenia and abroad, this unique opean Union collection synthesizes Slovenia’s recent socioeconomic and political history and assesses the challenges ahead. Contributors discuss the Slovenian style of socioeconomic transformation, analyze Slovenia’s quest for EU membership, and place Slovenia’s transition within the context of the broader transition process taking place in Central and Eastern Europe. Of interest to development practitioners and to students and scholars of the region, Slovenia: From Yugoslavia to the European Union is a From Yugoslavia comprehensive and illuminating study of one country’s path to political and economic independence. -

The Future of Robotics an Inside View on Innovation in Robotics
The Future of Robotics An Inside View on Innovation in Robotics FEATURE Robots, Humans and Work Executive Summary Robotics in the Startup Ecosystem The automation of production through three industrial revolutions has increased global output exponentially. Now, with machines increasingly aware and interconnected, Industry 4.0 is upon us. Leading the charge are fleets of autonomous robots. Built by major multinationals and increasingly by innovative VC-backed companies, these robots have already become established participants in many areas of the economy, from assembly lines to farms to restaurants. Investors, founders and policymakers are all still working to conceptualize a framework for these companies and their transformative Austin Badger technology. In this report, we take a data-driven approach to emerging topics in the industry, including business models, performance metrics, Director, Frontier Tech Practice and capitalization trends. Finally, we review leading theories of how automation affects the labor market, and provide quantitative evidence for and against them. It is our view that the social implications of this industry will be massive and will require a continual examination by those driving this technology forward.

Acknowledgments I was sitting in the pew listening to the pastor quote Woody Allen—“Half of life is showing up.” He went on to talk about how in life we have dreams and ambitions, and sometimes we feel like we are failing to meet these aspirations and wonder if we are meeting the expectations for those who depend on us (sermon 5-29-2011). He said, “‘Half of life is showing up,’ and God provides the other half.” His advice to us was just show up and quit worrying. The people I have to thank have done more than show up. They have impacted my life in ways they will never know. I thank God for getting me through this program and sending these special angels into my life. Let me start with my kids who have learned to wash clothes, cook, and understand my own version of what we call phone sign language—codes for I am talking if you are not on fire or bleeding go away and come back when I am off the phone. -

Bovine Benefactories: an Examination of the Role of Religion in Cow Sanctuaries Across the United States
BOVINE BENEFACTORIES: AN EXAMINATION OF THE ROLE OF RELIGION IN COW SANCTUARIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES _______________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board _______________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ________________________________________________________________ by Thomas Hellmuth Berendt August, 2018 Examing Committee Members: Sydney White, Advisory Chair, TU Department of Religion Terry Rey, TU Department of Religion Laura Levitt, TU Department of Religion Tom Waidzunas, External Member, TU Deparment of Sociology ABSTRACT This study examines the growing phenomenon to protect the bovine in the United States and will question to what extent religion plays a role in the formation of bovine sanctuaries. My research has unearthed that there are approximately 454 animal sanctuaries in the United States, of which 146 are dedicated to farm animals. However, of this 166 only 4 are dedicated to pigs, while 17 are specifically dedicated to the bovine. Furthermore, another 50, though not specifically dedicated to cows, do use the cow as the main symbol for their logo. Therefore the bovine is seemingly more represented and protected than any other farm animal in sanctuaries across the United States. The question is why the bovine, and how much has religion played a role in elevating this particular animal above all others. Furthermore, what constitutes a sanctuary? Does -
Arguments for Basic Income, Universal Pensions and Universal
Money for nothing? Arguments for basic income, universal pensions and universal child benefits in Norway Christian Petersen Master thesis Department of Comparative Politics University of Bergen June 2014 Abstract Basic income is a radical idea which has gained more attention in many countries in recent years, as traditional welfare states are having trouble solving the problems they were created to solve. Basic income promises to solve many of these problems in an effective and simple way. The purpose of this thesis is to study basic income in a way which can supplement the existing literature, and make it relevant in a Norwegian perspective. Hopefully this can contribute towards placing basic income on the political agenda and in the public debate. A large amount of literature is written on basic income, but by comparing the arguments used to promote a basic income with empirical data from previously implemented social policy in Norway, I hope to contribute towards an area which is not well covered. To do this I identify the arguments used to promote a basic income, and compare them to the arguments used to promote other universal social policy in Norway at the time they were introduced. The empirical cases of the universal child benefit and the universal old age pension in Norway has been chosen, because they resemble a basic income in many ways. The study is of a qualitative nature, and the method of document analysis is used to conduct the study. The data material for basic income is mainly scholarly literature. The data materials used for the analysis of the child benefit scheme and the old age pension are government documents, mainly preparatory work for new laws, legal propositions put forward in parliament, white papers, and transcripts of debates in parliament. -
Paradism Appendix Official
Paradism – A Project for Society 1 1 Canadian Raelian Church (2014) We are rapidly approaching a Canadian society – and a world society too – in which human work will be unnecessary! We call that new society paradism. "Paradism is the essential key to the future of humanity. And it's possible now... It can be done in a few weeks, not in a few years... just a few weeks!"- Rael Introduction This document is intended primarily for politicians and the media, since the former have the power to change things and the latter to influence them. (That is, as long as they have the will to do it.) But this text also speaks to all who know that work can soon be rapidly eliminated through science and the cutting edge technologies available today, especially robotics. Those who become unemployed through this change need not lack for anything. Instead, they can blossom and thrive in a leisure society, where the arts, sports, mutual aid and collaboration will prevail. Robot workers will meet all material needs. That is paradism! Those who rightly question the current functioning of our society can help bring about the profound changes essential to create the just, 2 idyllic society just described. By actively contributing to those changes, they will be able to leave a positive heritage for the entire world. Under the current system, a few people are using technology selfishly, impoverishing the majority (many of whom have already lost or are about to lose their jobs due to technological advances) to enrich only themselves. Technological progress is inevitable, but it should be used for the good of everyone, not just the few who currently profit from it. -

Renta Básica Universal
Renta Básica Universal I. Introducción La situación de pobreza y pobreza extrema, la desigualdad en el nivel de ingresos, las crisis económicas, la transformación tecnológica y digital, así como el efecto de la globalización sobre el empleo, entre otros, están generando un debate sobre la implementación de una Renta Básica Universal -RBU- como mecanismo de protección social. Las redes de protección social son medidas para facilitar los cambios estructurales de la economía y hacerlos socialmente aceptables. La discusión pertinente es si el Estado, en su calidad de administrador de tales redes, debe incorporar dentro de sus políticas la implementación de una RBU, tomando en cuenta que los recursos son escasos y debiesen asignarse de una manera eficiente. Recientemente en Finlandia se ha puesto en marcha un proyecto que ha levantado la discusión sobre las ventajas de implementar una política de RBU. Tomando en cuenta que este tipo de modelos se está debatiendo en diversas partes del mundo, especialmente en Europa, se estima oportuno conocer algunos precedentes (tanto teóricos como experiencias), los conceptos de lo que se entiende por RBU, los argumentos a favor y en contra de su aplicación, así como una evaluación de lo que podría significar en el caso de Guatemala. II. Concepto y experiencias 1. Definición y características La Basic Income Earth Network -BIEN-1 define el concepto de RBU como un pago periódico en efectivo entregado incondicionalmente a todas las personas sobre una base individual, sin necesidad de medios o requisito de trabajo. La RBU no debe confundirse con los diversos subsidios condicionados existentes, propios del estado de bienestar, en los que la recepción de beneficios está condicionada a que se cumpla con los requisitos establecidos y cuya verificación la realiza el sector público.
