Do you have sources for the Spain-beach-hitting? Several studies have found that cash transfers do not reduce work incentives, except in specific populations like new mothers and teenagers. Much more significant disincentives are those generated by current programs with welfare cliffs.

Not really on the sources. I remember it from news stories in the 60s/70s. It may have been hyped up by the tabloids rather than having been significant in reality.
