Yang agreed that education and retraining are important but posed […]

Credit: Sean Murphy Getty Images The Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD), the yearly distribution of unconditional cash to all Alaska residents, is providing researchers with a one-of-a-kind source of information on the effect of a universal basic income (UBI) on socioeconomic well-being. The latest study shows that a $1,000 PFD reduces the probability of an Alaskan child being obese by the age of three by as much as 4.5 percentage points. That translates to about a 22 percent reduction in obesity.

Income inequality and technology-related job loss are among the concerns driving a growing interest in a UBI, but there […]

Tech entrepreneur and presidential hopeful Andrew Yang was in for a big night — or so he thought. His campaign had promised an unprecedented surprise on the debate stage in Houston and boy did he ever try to deliver.

With the worn smile of an afternoon game-show host, Yang announced that he would give 10 American families $1,000 dollars every month for the next year in hopes of proving the merits of his campaign’s cornerstone Universal Basic Income plan.

The problem? If Yang (or his campaign) is giving the money away, how does the mock dividend illustrate what a state-sponsored measure […]
