Basic Income as a Basis for Small Business
探讨基本收入对小企业发展的作用，认为它能补偿小规模生产的不经济、激励新企业成立，并替代现有复杂补贴，同时解决地下经济的不公平竞争问题。
Dr. Bart Nooteboom is research director at the Research Institute for Small and Medium-sized Business, Zoetermeer, Netherlands. In this paper he examines the relevance of a basic income to the development of small businesses. He argues that a basic income would stimulate and facilitate small businesses in several ways. It would enhance economic growth, employment and general welfare. A basic income would serve as a compensation for diseconomies of small scale production; as incentive for new firms; as an alternative to complicated and often ineffective present subsidies and other measures for small business. He also suggests that it could be solution to the problem of unfair competition from the "informal, "black", or "underground" economy.
