abstract = {Economic modeling of Universal Basic Income (UBI) often fails to consider how individuals' utility calculations shift with unconditional transfers. In this paper we further develop the model of our previous paper - The Implications of UBI on Utility Functions and Tax Revenue (Neumärker, B., Weinel, J., 2022). We contend that, while traditional fiscal models rely on an additively separable relationship between consumption and labor, the utility calculation for individuals influenced by UBI is better represented by a multiplicative relationship. This shift arises from the time sovereignty afforded by UBI, empowering individuals to become self-determined, creative, and intrinsically motivated. We explore the implications of the UBI-adapted utility function on tax revenue. Specifically, we analyze the consumption tax revenue curve under UBI (multiplicative preferences) versus a means-tested welfare system (additive separable preferences).

abstract = {The rapidly expanding corona pandemic in 2020 has largely brought the world to an economic stagnation. The impact on the environment, especially on air quality, from almost suspended air traffic, idle industry and economic lockdown is enormous, but also the economic and social consequences of the crisis. This state of stagnation hardly appears to be economically and socially sustainable. However, we should ask ourselves right now what we can learn from the situation in order to question globalization, better intercept future comparable crisis situations and take the step towards more sustainable development on an ecological, economic and social basis. The paper identifies the areas of externality management to improve environmental quality, digitalization and network expansion as well as basic income as central concepts that need to be addressed in and after the crisis. Concrete concepts are suggested and discussed at the end of the paper.
