The cited studies, like most sociopolitical studies, probably don't prove anything. The article doesn't specify how the subjects were selected, unless I missed something. If I were an advocate for UBI and wanted to organize a study like this, I'd make sure to select people who are likely to keep working and not just quit and smoke weed all day so I could reinforce my narrative. If I were an opponent of UBI I'd do the opposite and enroll people who are unlikely to keep working when they don't have to.
