Yep, this is a great point. There are a lot of great experiments that show that direct cash assistance is a really good Valid experiment, but not a full UBI experiment. That said, I do think these kinds of experiments are still helpful for evaluating UBI as a policy. It's good to know that direct cash assistance is an effective welfare program for a lot of cases. It's probably also worth evaluating where direct cash assistance falls short as a safety net.
