“…This expense-particularly in the Canadian experiment-must be considered that much greater next to the somewhat limited contribution to knowledge they produced. Much was learned about the labor supply response (for summaries of the experiments, and the typically modest reductions in work effort, see Burtless 1986;Hum and Simpson 1993;Keeley 1981;Levine et al 2005;Widerquist 2005) and to a lesser extent about marital dissolution (Cain 1986;Cain and Wissoker 1990;Hannan and Tuma 1990). More recently, Evelyn Forget (2010Forget ( , 2011 has examined the health effects of the GAI in the Canadian context (Forget, Peden, and Strobel 2013).…”

Cet article traite de l'impact d'une expérience sociale menée dans les années 1970, l'Expérience du revenu annuel de base du Manitoba (MINCOME). J'examine le lieu de "saturation" de la MINCOME, la ville de Dauphin au Manitoba, où tous les habitantsétaient admissiblesà des versements de revenus annuels garantis pendant trois ans.À partir d'archives de récits qualitatifs des participants je montre que la conception et le discours autour de la MINCOME ont amené les participantsà voir les versements d'un oeil pragmatique, contrairement a la perspective moralisatrice qu'inspire le bien-être sociale. Conformémentà la théorie existante cet article constate que la participationà la MINCOME n'a pas produit de stigmate social. Plus largement, cetteétude discute de la faisabilité d'autres formes d'organisation socio-économiqueà travers une prise en compte des aspects moraux de la politiqueéconomique. La signification sociale de la MINCOMEétait suffisamment puissante pour que même les participants ayant des attitudes négativesà l'égard d'aides gouvernementales se sentirent capables de recevoir des versements de la MINCOME sans un sentiment de contradiction. En occultant les distinctions entre les "pauvres méritants" et les "pauvres non-méritants",

“…The aggregate results of all four US negative income tax pilot projects show an average drop in hours worked by 7% for men and 17% for women (Munnell, 1987). The experimental households worked 13% less on average (Levine & al., 2005). On the other hand, the negative income tax encouraged school attendance, which thus replaced the decline in the young people's work participation.…”

This study deals with five sources of data that may help to answer the question of how labor supply would respond to the introduction of unconditional basic income. Research of lottery winners’ labor supply and the results of field experiments, in which the behavior of households who have received a regular unconditional income for a limited time period was observed and is then investigated and discussed. Results of the laboratory experiment, the estimates of microsimulation models, and the results of the opinion polls are also examined. The surveyed data sources show mainly a slight decline in labor supply. However, none of these data were collected in situations that would fully correspond with the expected conditions of decision-making that would occur with the basic income. Any results derived from them therefore need to be considered with caution.

“…The North Carolina‐Iowa and the Gary sites found an improvement in test scores among elementary‐ and middle‐school children. Beside school‐age children, more adults were pursuing continuous education in the Seattle‐Denver experiments . In Brazil, school attendance increased eight percent among 5‐6 year olds in families receiving BIG than those that did not .…”

“…For example, the MINCOME project found more than a 10 percent increase in the grade 12 enrollment rate (10). The New Jersey experiment found a 1.5-year increase in continuous schooling among [18][19] year olds (34). The North Carolina-Iowa and the Gary sites found an improvement in test scores among elementary-and middleschool children.…”
