- Abstract
- This thesis evaluates the impacts of Universal Credit, the UK Government’s flagship welfare reform. After providing an overview of the policy, I make use of applied econometric methods to study its potential unintended consequences on mental health, local crime rates and prisoner recidivism. My findings are intended to contribute to the ongoing policy debate around Universal Credit, as well as the wider economics literature on welfare reform.
