Our main conclusion is that even after 60 years of research, we cannot draw generalizable conclusion about the labour market effects of a basic income, or varieties of a basic income. We conclude with some guidelines for the future set-up of basic income pilots and experiments. /FIN
We discuss the extent to which studies in wich the labour supply effect was measured suffer from representativeness issues, treatment effect issues, community effect issues, issues of randomization, attrition and biases such as the Hawthorne effect. These are all summarized in a limitation grid. /5
