As the study takes data from a 50 year period of time it would be modeled in automatically, unless the phenomenon you describe takes longer than 50 years to yield capital or is so rare that it wouldn’t happen within a 50 year period.

Yes, an economic study that I used in a discussion about economics is talking about economic productivity. Since we live in a capitalist society productivity is usually measured by the amount of capital an individual produces, so I don’t see the distinction between economic productivity and what you’re suggesting.
You are demonstrably wrong about this.
Traditionally pilot studies are used to examine if something is worth studying more in-depth. You could argue these pilot studies don’t suggest that it’s worth examining further, but I really don’t think evidence supports that. The consensus with both of the aforementioned studies is that more data is necessary. Also…
IIRC those were very small and were considered pilot studies so I would be a little hesitant to draw any substantial conclusions from them. Here’s an opinion piece you may find some value in on the Finnish study.
“The problem is UBI has already failed in other European countries with smaller populations, so what evidence is there it would work here?”
Fiscal policies can adjust to inflation in a way wages cannot. Something like socialized medicine can be used to implement price controls or price offsets, and UBI can be tied to the rate of inflation to help mitigate the issue.
I’m a progressive who supports environmental policy. I also have a BA in economics and can see the writing on the wall if we were to implement such an massive spending program. There’s no way, given current unemployment and levels of private investment, that the GND gets done without massive inflation. That’s going to…
Taxation is fiscal policy, not monetary policy. If they were using monetary scare tactics they would be talking about how much inflation this program may cause.
I’m not concerned about the taxes. I’m concerned about inflation. The US economy is near full employment and experiences pretty strong investment growth so any kind of fiscal policy will have to be offset by a pretty aggressive monetary policy designed to increase inflation to minimize crowding out. Wages tend to be…
Can someone who understands economics better than me explain how massive stimulus spending when the economy is at full employment won’t cause rampant inflation?
I mean, these prices are normal for most free to play games. Look at MWO, LoL, CS: GO, etc.
Dude, what you’re talking about is a symptom of a larger issue, we live in a capitalist society and thus exploitation in order to gain capital is essential. Sure, loot boxes are bad and exploitative, but they’re less exploitative that allowing toy companies to advertise directly to kids, or pharmaceutical companies to…
Oh fuck off. It’s free to play, it isn’t pay to win, and you are constantly earning in game currency that can go towards characters. What do you want, the fucking world?
Both Curse and Cult of Chucky are pretty positively reviewed and well regarded in the horror community so I don’t necessarily think it’s fair to call them “terrible.”
At 11 I remember being into pokemon and girls. At 16 I remember being into pokemon and girls. At neither of those ages would people consider holding me accountable for lying about my age on the internet, because in essence, it’s a white lie. I was also just a kid at both those ages.
Do you know the definition of transgression? I’d love to hear what code of ethics a kid broke by lying about his age on the internet. Shit, I lied about my age all the time before I was 18 when I went on porn sites, and that had legal ramifications, but even then I don’t think anyone would call it a transgression.
This is exactly the point I’m trying to make.
It may be because I’m old, but 11 and 16 are both kids to me.
