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 = {Die schnell wachsende Corona Pandemie im Jahr 2020 hat die Welt weitgehend in eine wirtschaftliche Stagnation gebracht. Die Auswirkungen des fast unterbrochenen Flugverkehrs, der stillgelegten Industrie und des wirtschaftlichen Lockdowns auf die Umwelt, insbesondere auf die Luftqualität, sind enorm; aber auch auf die wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Folgen der Krise. Dieser Stillstand scheint wirtschaftlich und sozial kaum nachhaltig zu sein. Wir sollten uns jedoch jetzt fragen, was wir aus der Situation lernen können, um die Globalisierung in Frage zu stellen, zukünftige vergleichbare Krisensituationen besser abzufangen und den Schritt zu einer nachhaltigeren Entwicklung auf ökologischer, wirtschaftlicher und sozialer Basis zu gehen. Das Arbeitspapier identifiziert dabei die Bereiche des Externalitätenmanagements zur Verbesserung der Umweltqualität, Digitalisierung und Netzerweiterung sowie des Grundeinkommens als zentrale Konzepte, die in und nach der Krise angegangen werden müssen. Konkrete Konzepte werden am Ende des Papiers vorgeschlagen und diskutiert.
