Politiche economiche

We suggest a policy measure, consistent with UE budget constraints, which aims to achieve a higher output gap through an increase in the participation rate: the greater stance for fiscal policy would allow for the possibility to finance a minimum income (conditional to active job-seeking).

Regulation and legalization of this market, in terms of costs and benefits to the community, would result in substantial net benefits, resulting primarily from the emergence of transactions, at this time, illegal.
