Will you accept evidence or do I have construct and argument from first principals?

Indeed, the blog post cites just this paper when the author writes, “In low and middle income country settings, cash transfers also mostly do not affect whether, or how much, people work.”

(But of course, the qualifier is “in low and middle income country settings”.)
