| Abstract: | It is shown that basic income schemes reduce the equilibrium unemployment rate. Assuming that job-search is costly to monitor, the normative analysis suggests that only the active population should be eligible to the basic income. Introducing such an 'active citizen's income' can be a Pareto-improving reform. |
