    Trust We Lost: The Impact of the Treuhand Experience on Political Alienation in East Germany

    This paper aims to investigate whether Van Parijs' theory of Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) can address the criticism of the lack of individual responsibility on the part of recipients.

Theoretical and empirical results suggest that the UBI does not lead to a decrease in labor...

This paper investigates the implications of this mechanism in a job search model featuring a finite work life, showing that a mean-preserving spread of the wage offer distribution could lead to a larger increase in reservation wages of younger than older workers because the...
