If I am a participant in this subject and I am told that I will be receiving Basic Income for 5 years I might act differently compared to if I was told that I am entitled to Basic Income for the rest of my life.<p>The observation bias alone might motivate people to do work and strive to achieve something with all of their time. Or, it might even cause them to lie about the things they&#x27;re working on.<p>It will be very interesting to see how they design the study, I think it has to be a little bit more nuanced than &quot;Here&#x27;s 2000 dollars a month for 5 years, bye.&quot;
