Any measures for freeloading?

Economists develop methods and measures to quantify economic variables. But very few people talk about or measure 'freeloading'. Governments around the world spend millions on providing subsidies and benefits to their citizens in one form or the other. For generations many families and societies have received benefits and prospered. People are so used to these freebies by now and politicians are scared to withdraw them for electoral reasons. In countries where there is a scramble between subsidies and development the impact of freeloading is all the more exacerbated. Surprisingly, there are no measures for freeloading.

Why do people need freebies after surpassing a certain income/wealth level ? After all, there are people standing in the line who do not receive any benefits ? 

With the currently available technology and computing power, it is possible to assign a unique identification number to every citizen of the country. Every child that is born can be assigned a unique number at birth and you can track the progress from nutrition, school, profession, employment, family up until the death bed. It is possible to monitor the income/ wealth levels of every citizen of the economy. It is possible to have a flexible benefits system, where the benefits kick in and kick out with income levels. In fact, you can tweak the entire policy systems (make it more dynamic) based on the feedback that you receive from these economic and demographic data and information systems.

The first step is to assess the quantum of freeloading and express it as a percent of GDP to understand the magnitude of its impact.

How Big Tech Firms have redefined the paradigms of economics!

Not a day passes by without using at least one product or application of the Big Tech companies.  These companies have redefined the long established principles of economics. 1. Networking Effects: Networking effects is the phenomenon where the value of a product increases due to the addition of every new customer/user. The effect of networking in tech industry implies that the company/product which is the 'early mover' has an advantage and the value of the network grows with every additional user. In 'network industries' the equilibrium tends towards a few products and their companies. Consider Microsoft, the predominant operating system of the world. Consumers want to stick to (Microsoft) technologies that are dominant and compatible with all the other users, software and hardware products. Once consumers get used to these applications or products they do not wish to change easily.  Similarly, with Facebook, any new user benefits due to the gigantic network of users a

Restating the Neoclassical Theory of Factor Income Distribution

Image
 The Gini Coefficient measures the equality of incomes of the population in an economy. As shown in the image below the % cumulative population is marked on the x-axis and the corresponding cumulative incomes are marked on the y-axis. The red curve showing actual distribution of incomes is called Lorenzo curve and the distance between the line of equality and Lorenzo curve is measured by the Gini coefficient. A score closer to 0 indicates perfect equality whereas a score of 100 indicates perfect inequality. This is a list of 100+ countries sorted by Gini coefficient sourced from https://knoema.com/atlas/ranks/GINI-index It is not surprising for us to note that many of the developing countries are facing high degree of inequality whereas some of the Western European and Scandinavian countries have better income equality. The income inequality in United States is close to that of Uganda and Mongolia! The Neoclassical Theory The traditional neoclassical theory states that factor incomes a

Budget Wishlist 2024

Here's my budget  wish list for 2024: 1 . Universal Basic Income(Support): The total work force of the United States is less than 17 crores using which they are able to generate a real GDP in excess of 20 trillion dollars(2022 wiki). The total workforce of Europe is under 20 crores(2022 wiki). Except for China which has a work force of 78 crores(2022 wiki), no other country has bigger workforce than India which has 55 crores. As per recent KLEMS database of RBI, the workforce number is 64.3 crores but many economists have questioned this number. With the onus on productivity we are moving towards a world in which investments are technology-intensive, definitely not labor intensive. Some economists have envisioned a world where machines take over the bulk of the work load with minimal human intervention. In India, the annual requirement for jobs is around 2 crores whereas job creation per annum is limited to 40 to 50 lakhs in spite of the best efforts of the incumbent government. T
