The basic income scheme introduced is based on a negative income tax and calibrated to be both financially feasible and compatible with current constitutional legislation. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) the author examines the impact of the reform on the household labor supply as well as on both poverty and inequality measures. It is shown that by applying reasonable values for both the basic income and the implied marginal tax rate imposed on earned incomes, efficiency gains can be reconciled with generally accepted value statements. Furthermore, as the proposal includes a universal basic income for families, child poverty could be reduced considerably. The estimates are based on the discrete choice approach to labor supply. 410 0$aContributions to Economics,$x1431-1933 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aMicroeconomics 606 $aPublic finance 606 $aSocial Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020 606 $aLabor Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W37000 606 $aMicroeconomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31000 606 $aPublic Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34000 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 0$aMicroeconomics. 615 0$aPublic finance. 615 14$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aLabor Economics. 615 24$aMicroeconomics. 615 24$aPublic Economics. 676 $a339.20943 700 $aSommer$b Maximilian$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0914209 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254873303321 996 $aA Feasible Basic Income Scheme for Germany$92048291 997 $aUNINA
