Universal Basic Income in the United States and Advanced Countries (2019, background): “As noted above, the evidence on this is scant, but studies of lottery winners show that income elasticities are quite stable with the payout size (Cesarini et al. 2017).”
MPC Heterogeneity and Household Balance Sheets (2016, unknown): “In Columns 2 and 3 we closely follow Cesarini et al. (2015), using a similar vector of controls for our Norwegian sample as they use in their sample of Swedish lottery winners.”
THE SHORT-TERM IMPACT OF UNCONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFERS TO THE POOR: EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FROM KENYA (2016, unknown): “This lack of an effect of windfalls on labor supply may not hold in developed countries; for instance, Cesarini et al. (2015) report a decrease in labor supply in Swedish households after a cash windfall.”
Long-Run Effects of Lottery Wealth on Psychological Well-Being (2018, unknown): “However, consistent with the previous qualitative evidence (Kaplan 1987, Eckblad & Lippe 1994, Hedenus 2011), we find little evidence of such behavior in our data (Cesarini et al. 2017).”
Wealth, Health, and Child Development: Evidence from Administrative Data on Swedish Lottery Players* (2016, background): “In a companion paper on labor supply (Cesarini et al. 2015), we show that the earnings response to the lottery wealth shock is immediate, modest in size, seemingly permanent, and similar across lotteries.”
