Technological change and growth regimes: Assessing the case for universal basic income in an era declining labour shares

Abstract: This report provides an overview of the research project ‘Economics of basic income’ (March 2019 - January 2022), funded by an unrestricted gift from Mr Geoff Crocker. It summarises academic research on the multi-dimensional effects of technology on national economies with a particular focus on its relationship to trends of a declining labour share. We relate these findings to a discussion of policy solutions including a universal basic income (UBI). Future empirical research at the Institute for Policy Research (IPR) will focus more comprehensively on this latter question, estimating the macroeconomic effects of a UBI funded by sovereign money.
