There will be a big questions to answer:<p>Will the basic income be paid in addition to standard gov&#x27;t subsidies?<p>If yes, how do you make up for the shortfall of money? &quot;Taxing the rich&quot; is nice in theory but IMHO it doesn&#x27;t work right now, what are you going to do to change that?<p>If no, it might be worth it, if you also fire the bureaucrats currently working on gov&#x27;t subsidies (freeing up the money thereby) But I don&#x27;t see how your study will account for this, nor do I think this is feasible because gov&#x27;t tends to increase in size and has no incentive to decrease. Other beneificial aspects would be decreasing the size of the code of law and forcing &quot;social security lawyers&quot; to specialize in something else, reducing costs of all other lawyers. Again, it will be hard to put it in practice and difficult to account for in your study.<p>I suppose you also have already read some literature on the topic. From my personal viewpoint I&#x27;d recommend &quot;Economics in one Lesson&quot; by Hazlitt [0], it&#x27;s decidedly non-mainstream and I wonder if it&#x27;s taught at all in universities today but the only economic theory based on game theory (although not explicitly) and fully consistent IMHO.<p>I also believe that funding a multi-agent simulation is probably cheaper for a few economic models (I&#x27;d volunteer here)<p>Finally, I see some business value here, namely studying whether it would make sense to fund persons instead of start-ups, as e.g. Entrepreneur First does [1] (I have no affiliation)<p>[0] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hacer.org&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;Hazlitt00.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hacer.org&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;Hazlitt00.pdf</a>
