Abstract

Abstract We focus on the literature about UBI and the experiments developed all around the world to test it in order to address how UBI implementation could affect entrepreneurship. Building on these findings and various strands of entrepreneurial theory, we develop a theoretical framework to explain how the implementation of UBI would dramatically change the environment of entrepreneurial activity, shaping entrepreneurial action at three levels: (i) the desirability of becoming an entrepreneur; (ii) the perceived feasibility of becoming an entrepreneur; (iii) the propensity to act. Consequently, UBI implementation would arguably facilitate the decision to become an entrepreneur. The contribution of the paper is threefold. It firstly provides a theoretical framework that opens new directions for further research on the relationship between UBI and entrepreneurship. Secondly, it offers new insights for policy makers by shedding light on potential effects of UBI implementation. Finally, it raises further questions that remains unsolved related to the role of non-pecuniary motivations and financial constraints.

评估实施全民基本收入对创业的影响

我们关注关于UBI的文献和世界各地为测试UBI而开发的实验，以解决UBI的实施如何影响企业家精神。基于这些发现和各种创业理论，我们开发了一个理论框架来解释UBI的实施将如何极大地改变创业活动的环境，在三个层面上塑造创业行为:(i)成为企业家的愿望;(ii)成为企业家的可行性;(iii)行为倾向。因此，UBI的实施可能会促进成为企业家的决定。这篇论文有三方面的贡献。首先，它提供了一个理论框架，为进一步研究UBI与企业家精神的关系开辟了新的方向。其次，它通过揭示实施全民基本收入的潜在影响，为政策制定者提供了新的见解。最后，它提出了与非金钱动机和财政限制的作用有关的尚未解决的进一步问题。

期刊介绍： Basic income is a universal income grant available to every citizen without means test or work requirement. Academic discussion of basic income and related policies has been growing in the fields of economics, philosophy, political science, sociology, and public policy over the last few decades — with dozens of journal articles published each year, and basic income constituting the subject of more than 30 books in the last 10 years. In addition, the political discussion of basic income has been expanding through social organizations, NGOs and other advocacy groups. Internationally, recent years have witnessed the endorsement of basic income by grassroots movements as well as government officials in developing countries such as Brazil or South-Africa. As the community of people working on this issue has been expanding all over the world, incorporating grassroots activists, high profile academics — including several Nobel Prize winners in economics — and policymakers, the amount of high quality research on this topic has increased considerably. In the light of such extensive scholarship on this topic, the need to coordinate research efforts through a journal specifically devoted to basic income and cognate policies became pressing. Basic Income Studies (BIS) is the first academic journal to focus specifically on basic income and cognate policies.
