PMID:29309188, Trajectories of mental health-related service use among adolescents with histories of early externalizing problems, Okado, Y., Ewing, E., Rowley, C., & Jones, D. E. (2017). This is our July 2019 podcast episode and we’re going to be hearing from Damon Jones, who is an economist at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy. How can we help people find and keep work, particularly young people entering the workforce? When we first started talking, I asked him to tell us more about what a Universal Basic Income is. So that could be what was going on and we have some evidence that suggests that that might be the case. The oil played a big role in the economy in Alaska, especially during this time, the 70s.

The other thing is that there’s this view that there are certain sets of people who at their stage in their life are sort of, the industry in which they work has shrunk and so they are now left with very limited employment opportunities. Jones: I think that universal basic income as a phrase and a policy has gained a lot of traction recently and so it’s been seen as its own type of policy reform or policy proposal, but if you take a step back it’s a part of general income and tax and transfer policy. Janet A. Welsh, PhD, is a research associate in the Prevention Research Center at Penn State University. There are some things that people need to take time off for, and this cash can free up that time for them to do that. So we looked at Alaska where they have something called the Permanent Fund Dividend. He received his Ph.D. in quantitative methods from Vanderbilt University in 2002. Chancellor: Hello and thanks for joining us for the Poverty Research and Policy Podcast from the Institute for Research on Poverty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. When the reward to working goes down that can cause people to not work who might otherwise have worked. So, how you decide to finance that will then ultimately affect who is going to be on net getting an increase. When we first started talking, I asked him to tell us more about what a Universal Basic Income is. Jones: On the one hand, I did a study in Alaska, on the other hand, Alaska’s quite different than other places so we need to be careful to know what’s unique to Alaska and what might apply outside of Alaska.

The Earned Income Tax Credit is in some ways praised because it may encourage people to work or it gets money toward the working poor. He has authored 40 peer-reviewed journal articles. And so some people see that the main purpose of this is to create a safety net, even for people who can’t work. Her research interests are in social emotional learning and the prevention of mental health problems in young children. Chancellor: So that’s the basic part—and Jones says there are a number of ways to achieve that through the tax and transfer system that essentially put a floor on people’s income. Improving social emotional skills in childhood enhances long-term well-being and economic outcomes. This site was built using the UW Theme. We concluded that even though cash payments have been shown in the past to make people work less or have a lower likelihood of working, we didn’t find that when the payment was given to everyone at the same time in Alaska. So, there are some people who think, well, we should defer to these households, they know what they need the money for the most—just give them cash.

D., Feinberg, M. E., Jones, D. E., & Chote, D. R. (2017). It could be for perfectly good reasons. The way we speak about that though gets tricky because it’s a question about how do you pay for these transfers? Different people have views about how complex or simplified these things should be and the universal basic income might be simpler because everyone qualifies. And there’s a lot of research that argues cash transfers in some ways may be better for these families. So those are some of the arguments in favor of a basic income. What are the causes and consequences of poor governance and how can policy improve public service delivery? There are others who think that we should be more paternalistic—if we give food stamps, then we know—evidence shows that they’re more likely to spend that money on food. So a tax on your wages lowers the reward to working. What do we want to know? That’s not immediately obvious to me. So, just because someone works less doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily a bad thing.
