Description

The authors would like to thank the many colleagues of the Fiscal Affairs Department who participated in discussions on UBI and redistributive policies, in particular during the drafting of the Fall 2017 IMF Fiscal Monitor. They would also like to thank Gabriela Inchauste, Christoph Lakner and Martin Ravallion for their comments during the preparation of the analysis and the World Bank colleagues that participated in the Poverty Practice seminar when a previous version of this work was presented. They are also grateful for comments received by Teresa Ter-Minassian and participants to the 20th Banca d’Italia Workshop on Public Finance held in Spring 2018. The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF, its Executive Board, or IMF management.
