A preliminary assessment of the financial feasibility of basic income emily...Emily Van de Walle
The financial feasibility of unconditionally granting every citizen an equal fixed monthly income, known as basic income, is taken into scrutiny in this dissertation. This is achieved by a static cost estimation of a wide variety of basic income proposals as well as an assessment of the cost savings on the social security system that may be achieved through the introduction of basic income.
As per recommendation by my promoter, prof. dr. Erreygers, I am currently working on an article that is based on the findings of my master's thesis with the objective of having the article published in an economic scientific journal.

JOBLINGE brings together stakeholders from the public and the private sector as well as civil society in order to help these young people to integrate into the labour market.
In an uncertain and volatile international context characterised by competing priorities for public spending, pressure is mounting for policy makers to enhance the efficiency of public spending in all sectors, including education. There is no question that there is a strong economic and social case for continued public investments in education, so the dilemma is not on whether or not to invest in education, but rather on how to make the most of this investment and foster a “Value for money”.
Policy makers need to make smarter investment in education. They need to foster equal opportunities and quality outcomes, and the good news is that the pursuit of efficiency and equity in education can work together through smart investments in four areas. Policy makers also need to carefully design funding mechanisms, pay attention to budget planning, and build a culture of systematic evaluation in education to ensure alignment with education objectives, transparency, accountability and capacity building.
We discuss the many benefits that education brings to economies and societies, but also strategies that can help policy makers make smarter investment in education in order to reap its full benefits.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

Role in Financial System
NBFCs are critical in bridging the financial inclusion gap.
They provide specialized financial services that cater to segments often neglected by traditional banks.
Economic Impact
NBFCs contribute significantly to India's GDP.
They support sectors like micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), housing finance, and personal loans.
Currently pi network is not tradable on binance or any other exchange because we are still in the enclosed mainnet.
Right now the only way to sell pi coins is by trading with a verified merchant.
What is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone verified by pi network team and allowed to barter pi coins for goods and services.
Since pi network is not doing any pre-sale The only way exchanges like binance/huobi or crypto whales can get pi is by buying from miners. And a merchant stands in between the exchanges and the miners.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

Comments and questions are welcome under:
adi.buxbaum@akwien.at &
sybille.pirklbauer@akwien.at
3. Why invest in social services?
Social investment – an ingenious circle!
i
4. Improved childcare provision in AT:
Kick-off financing from the federal government
With 100 mio € (federal gov) + 100 mio € (Länder) per year in 4 years the
following would be possible:
•35,000 additional places for small children (< 3 years)
•improved opening hours for 70,000 existing places (3-6 years)
•for all groups of small children one additional carer (pedagogical staff),
at least half-day.
6. What costs are involved?
Costs for more and better childcare provision:
•construction or adaption of buildings for the new places
•personnel: child-carers (pedagogical staff)
•training: 50% of the new child-carers need training →
somebody has to teach them
•financing: 10 year government bonds
8. What are the employment effects?
Additional employment:
•direct: child-carers (teachers), jobs in construction and training
•Indirect: additional income leads to more consumption
•Reconciliation of work and familiy life: parents (mothers) can
work (more)
10. What are the returns?
Funds flow back from:
•Direct and indirect employment:
social security contributions, income-tax, payroll taxes, etc.
•Savings in unemployment benefits: 1/3 of the additional direct
employment is staffed with previously unemployed persons
(= empirical evidence from AT)
NOT considered in the calculations:
•Consumption effects from indirect employment
•Possible savings in unemployment benefits from indirect employment
•Career effects through early return from parental leave
•Long term educational gains through early education
→ Returns are underestimated!
12. Overall balance
Positive balance:
•Returns exceed costs in all cases - even in the
pessimistic scenario
•30,000-45,000 people find employment
•Much better reconciliation of work and family life
•Better early education and care for children →
improves equality regardless of social background
16. Ad 4. The AK-Model: relationship between different variables & scenarios

applied to other fields of (social) policy?
18. Conclusions I:
Social Investment leads to substantial returns on a medium &
long-term perspective → depending on the concrete measure they
can be highly self-financing!
Costs of social investment/social infrastructure are overestimated
(= usually only ‚gross costs/categories‘ are considered) →
‚returns‘ are either not adequately considered or ignored!
(see long-term cost projections as EC, The 2012 Ageing report)
EU2020 employment target of 75%: cannot be achieved without
an increase in female employment!
Better conditions for the reconciliation of work and familiy life is
crucial for female employment and competitiveness
Reaching EU 2020 strategy targets is (heavily) dependent on
those social/preventative (= ‘future’ ) investments!
19. Conclusions II:
Recent arguments/research results (eg EC, EF) are promising!
Costs of NON-Action:
→ Non-social policy today is more expensive in the mid and long
term in comparison to investing today!
[e.g. high youth unemployment → difficulties to enter the labour market →
fragmented/discontinous working careers → risk of (psychological) health problems →
risk of long-term unemployment → risk of old-age poverty etc]

As we have heard today more & more policy and decision makers are convinced that social investment can contribute significantly to reach the EU 2020 strategy‘s targets.
We totally share this view & I want to illustrate also on behalf my co-author Sybille Pirklbauer – who unfortunately can‘t attend this seminar today - the potential returns from improved childcare provision in Austria.
Sybille and I, we are representing the Austrian Federal Chamber of Labour, and we are using an interdisciplinary approach to demonstrate and calculate potential employment, domestic demand and fiscal effects of improved social infrastructure.
Besides our former studies in this field of research and the results of the EC Report “Employment and Social Development 2012” just the perspective of the presentation of the SIP by Commissioner Andor and also EF’s research on the NEET’s invited and motivated me and my colleagues, above all, Sybille, to estimate the effects of improved childcare provision as one of the most intuitive examples how smart investment could be done and what potential effects and returns may will be derived.
The following research results are based on a study we conducted earlier this year. Our research team was supported by colleagues from our institution but also from other national experts to calibrate the underlying model.
The Principle of the model goes like the following:
Step 1: (pls let us start with the upper corner on the left hand side) a universal provision of childcare places with high standards reduces the gap between the actual offer and the need for those places (I am refering to the Barcelona target that is not reached so far – which holds true for many countries in Europe!).
These investments then lead to higher employment (directly & indirectly), they promote better career perspectives for parents with childcare responsibilities esp for women & these investments furthermore raise earnings on an individual and household level.
And dependent on the qualifications and intervention through ALMP measures it potentially enables former unemployed to re-enter the labour market which means “savings” in the sense of lower unemployment benefits.
To sum up: our model considers the lucky combination of increased revenue through higher employment & savings in UB!
So, considering all relevant factors, an improved better childcare provision can have great mid-&long term returns that are equivalent to more budgetary leeway for future investments.
That’s in principle the story … which is quite promising, isn‘t it?
In accordance with national data evidence it takes 100 mio euros (which is co-financed at the Länder-level) to get 35,000 additional place s for small children (aged younger than 3 years) & to improve the opening hours for 70,000 already existing places.
Additionally we considered for all groups for small children one additional carer (pedagogic staff), at least half-day.
The AK model is designed as a comprehensive and complementary demand&supply-side strategy, which pays off dependent on the economic environment.
Investment obviously means initial costs - costs for personnel/construction/training and financing.
But there are substantial employment effects as well which are leading to a higher revenue and to a certain extent to lower UB if the former unemployed persons succeed to get into these “new” jobs created directly or indirectly.
Then we simply calculate an annual balance of costs and benefits or fiscal returs … and after all we can conclude that Social Investments lead to substantial positive returns in a mid- & long term perspective!
We can conclude that there is a realistic perspecitve of positive, structural gains !!!!!!!!!! This good news again!!!!!!!!
I would like to turn to the graph which summarizes the calculations in a more reader-friendly way than this “overview”
This graph is the heart of my presentation and it illustrates again the whole principle and adds the fiscal returns and the impact on employment as well.
Independent of the economic scenario (optimistic, average or pessimistic) the investment actually will here pay off after 4 years. … mainly due to the 30.000-45.000 newly employed persons (representing ~1% of dependent workers in Austria) created by an annual gross cost investment of max ~0.2% of GDP stimulus!
For instance the average scenario creates revenue (by taxes&contr. and savings in the UI) by the year 2017 that are almost ~100 million Euro higher than the annual costs for the add. Childcare facilities !
The returns per year will stay quite stable but at different levels dependent on the economic scenario. Those positive returns can also be interpreted as “opportunity costs” for not investing/non-action!!
This can be an interesting message in times of budget consolidation! … that there is a positive and active strategy for sound public finance.

To end up, if Austria continues the recent path of higher investment in children and social infrastructure, Austria may will serve a best-practice example ad we would find then Mozart on the cover of the economist instead of this beautiful Viking! ;-)
