Abstract
This chapter identifies several claims that are important to the public discussion and evaluation of Universal Basic Income (UBI) but that cannot be tested on an experimental scale. Unfortunately, for experimental research, these issues cannot be left out of the discussion of evidence about UBI. This chapter offers suggestions about how experimental reports should treat these questions to give people a good understanding of the meaning of experimental findings.
