摘要

本文提出了一个理论模型,展示了当全民基本收入(UBI)的实施涉及到其他公共服务支出的减少(福利紧缩)时,政治不信任如何影响人们对全民基本收入(UBI)的偏好。该模型显示,政治不信任程度较低的个人更有可能支持UBI,这反映了他们对政府管理公共资源和避免浪费其他公共服务的能力的信任。该模型还显示,当全民基本收入涉及到其他公共服务的部分缩减时,普遍的不信任——其特征是代理人预期其同胞的不当行为会降低政府的财政能力——不会显著影响人们对全民基本收入的偏好。导致这一结果的原因是,代理人认为,无论是否实施全民基本收入,他们的同胞都会出现不当行为。欧洲社会调查(ESS)对265个欧洲地区的实证分析证实了模型的预测。

Social trust and the support for universal basic income

This paper presents a theoretical model showing how political mistrust affects people’s preferences for Universal Basic Income (UBI) when its implementation involves a reduction in spending for other public services (welfare retrenchment). The model shows that individuals with lower levels of political mistrust are more likely to endorse UBI, reflecting their trust in the government’s ability to manage public resources and avoid wasteful retrenchment of other public services. The model also shows that generalised mistrust – characterised by agents’ expectations of their fellow citizens’ misbehaviour that can reduce the government’s fiscal capacity – does not significantly influence preferences for UBI when it involves a partial retrenchment of other public services. This result is driven by the agents’ perception that their fellow citizens’ misbehaviour would occur irrespective of the UBI implementation. The empirical analysis with 265 European regions from the European Social Survey (ESS) confirms the predictions of the model.
