I wouldn't necessarily call it "lazy research". It's imperfect, but there aren't exactly that many natural experiments in UBI that provide you great data. Sometimes you have to piece together insights from imperfect data.
- aaron-lebo 8y agoIt's not the research itself that is lazy, it's the way results with very limited scope are used by people to push an agenda. I guarantee you the authors are aware of the limits of their research. They aren't the ones making overarching claims. I challenge you to look up how social scientists themselves (and not one stop issue sites) feel about UBI. You can't bother to provide a link when you are citing a statistic? That's just lazy. In graduate school they train you like an attack dog to find this stuff, so it's pedantic, but that really doesn't bother anyone? Just a link supporting your main claim - too much to ask? The association with academia and "stats" without the same standards is weird.
