Macroeconomic Consequences of German Basic Income Proposals

The thesis explores the viability of implementing a basic income system in Germany, focusing on negative income tax and unconditional basic income. It provides an objective analysis of current UBI proposals, examining their potential impacts on the labor market and distributional effects. By comparing various economic indicators, the author evaluates the suitability of these concepts for Germany and discusses the necessary features for an effective UBI. The work also addresses the feasibility of achieving multiple objectives simultaneously and identifies the most promising proposals.
