3 research idea notes tagged “welfare”.

- [Unemployment insurance for the AI transition](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/unemployment-insurance-for-the-ai-transition.md) (2026-10-26, seed): Unemployment insurance and job search appear on 86 recent papers, but only 20 of them carry an AI, automation or algorithm keyword. If language models displace office workers, the benefit systems built for factory layoffs will meet a different kind of job loser. What should change: benefit length, wage insurance or retraining? Tags: economics, labor, welfare.
- [Do cash transfers raise local prices?](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/cash-transfers-and-local-prices.md) (2026-10-23, seed): Cash transfers appear on 43 recent papers in the economics journals, but only 4 of them carry a price, inflation, multiplier or spillover keyword. If a programme gives cash to a large share of a village, shopkeepers may raise prices and non-recipients may gain or lose. How large are these effects, and when do they reverse the programme's purpose? Tags: economics, development, welfare.
- [What the basic income pilots found](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/basic-income-pilots.md) (2026-10-23, seed): Universal basic income appears on 6 recent papers and unconditional cash transfers on 4, although large pilots in the US, Germany, Kenya and elsewhere have reported results in the last two years. What do the pilots agree on, where do they disagree, and what would scale change? Tags: economics, welfare, labor.
