Programa de transferência de renda não desencoraja trabalho

Esta é a conlusão de um estudo do Departamento de Economia do MIT com dados de 6 países (Honduras, Marrocos, Filipinas,México, Indonésia e Nicarágua): Programas de transferência não desencorajam o trabalho.

Resumo:

Targeted transfer programs for poor citizens have become increasingly common in the developing world. Yet, a common concern among policy makers – both in developing as well as developed countries – is that such programs tend to discourage work. We re-analyze the data from 7 randomized controlled trials of government-run cash transfer programs in six developing countries throughout the world, and find no systematic evidence that cash transfer programs discourage work.
