註釋

Public interest in welfare reform peaked in the 1960s, leading to extensive research and five large-scale social experiments designed to assess the consequences of a guaranteed annual income or a negative income tax program. Of special importance was the issue of individual work incentives under such a program. But despite a clear theoretical understanding of the problem, wide availability of numerous data sets of high quality, and impressive econometric analyses of the question, the effects of alternative income maintenance programs on labour supply remain controversial. This study addresses this controversy in two ways: first, it surveys labour supply research to date in the U.S. and Canada; and second, it examines labour supply behaviour in the Canadian experiment.
