Universal Cash and Crime
研究阿拉斯加永久基金分红这一全民现金转移支付对犯罪的影响，发现支付后药物滥用事件增加，但财产犯罪减少，暴力犯罪无变化，年度犯罪变化很小，表明现金转移的犯罪成本很低。
Abstract We estimate the effects of universal cash transfers on crime from Alaska's Permanent Fund Dividend, an annual lump-sum payment to all Alaska residents. We find a 14% increase in substance-abuse incidents the day after the payment and a 10% increase over the following four weeks. This is partially offset by an 8% decrease in property crime, with no changes in violent crimes. On an annual basis, however, changes in criminal activity from the payment are small. Estimated costs comprise a very small portion of the total payment, suggesting that crime-related concerns of a universal cash transfer program may be unwarranted.
