Maximiliano Zorondo

My main research interest is the long-term effects of the introduction of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) in a community. In particular, I’m interested in its effects on entrepreneurship and bottom-up innovation. On the empirical side, I want to study the almost-universal cash transfers given during COVID-19 as approximate and natural country-scale experiments on UBI. On the theoretical side, I want to model different implementations of UBI using Agent-Based Models.
