This whole academic branch is the included the reproducibility project. Papers sit at about flip of a coin repeatability. In either case, if there's no change in net productivity, why spend the money to do it?

If we are to assume hypothesis that the headline is correct. There are multiple benefits and insights that can be drawn. 1. People on UBI are not just going to take money stop working. This is one of the biggest counter argument for UBI - people are lazy and be drain on society. 2. People are still productive and if given UBI they have space to take risk and become entrepreneurs. A lot of people might have a idea/dream to start a business but due to mortgage, low income etc they cannot risk the well being of their families. 3. If UBI doesn't reduce productivity then you are injecting money into local economies via local people. This is literally supporting businesses that local people want to have around. 4. The whole social welfare department can be largely disbanded. 5. There was some crazy percentage of people that has no more then $1000 in account (left then month of spending). UBI would help people cope with emergencies. There is known effect of people in crisis falling into a hole due to the fight or flight mechanism. They literally cannot think straight and are being preyed upon by quick payday loan vulchers. 6. Jobs that are awful will have to be paid more to be done. I am not sure if thats good or bad. Depends who you are. 7. Young people would not be rushed to find job, or be fast track into school-uni-work thread. It would give people chance to find out what they like to do in life rather than roll dice and be stuck in career they don't like. Personally i believe you should have a few year gap between high school and university to get a taste for the different jobs. Hows that for a list?
