I have some concerns about this experiment, but I may be wrong.
The whole idea of basic income is that the basic income would be enough for a person to live. Having never been to Finland (but other northern European countries), I can't see how you can live on 560€ a month without some other source of income or social assistance.
The people in the study are told that the basic income will end in two years, wouldn't that change their behavior? I mean if they know the money is temporary they're not to change their behavior too much.
I know for myself if they gave me 700CAD an month for an basic income experiment for two years, I would be "cool extra cash". However I won't change my behavior job/career wise as 1) its not enough to live on; and 2) its going to end.
