That was one of the points Andrew Yang made when he was pitching the Freedom Dividend.

Noting the efficiency of giving people money directly, and they can use it in a way that would be most useful in their particular case.

I'd like to see research on the frequency of universal income payments, and the effects it has in the welfare of the recipient.

For example, is it best to pay $10/day, $70/week, $300/month or $3600/year?

For recipients who don't do financial planning and saving, $10/day might cause more spending on food etc., While $3600/year might lead to more 'investments' like buying a laptop or registering for a training course.
