A 2018 paper found that the Alaska Permanent Fund "dividend had no effect on employment, and increased part-time work by 1.8 percentage points (17 percent)... our results suggest that a universal and permanent cash transfer does not significantly decrease aggregate employment."<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Jones|first1=Damon|last2=Marinescu|first2=Ioana|date=February 2018|title=The Labor Market Impacts of Universal and Permanent Cash Transfers: Evidence from the Alaska Permanent Fund |journal=NBER Working Paper No. 24312 |doi=10.3386/w24312 |url=http://humcap.uchicago.edu/RePEc/hka/wpaper/Jones_Marinescu_2019_labor-market-impacts-universal-transfers.pdf|doi-access=free}}</ref>

A 2019 study found "a 14% increase in substance-abuse incidents the day after the [Alaska Permanent Fund] payment and a 10% increase over the following four weeks. This is partially offset by a 8% decrease in property crime, with no changes in violent crimes. On an annual basis, however, changes in criminal activity from the payment are small. Estimated costs comprise a very small portion of the total payment, suggesting that crime-related concerns of a universal cash transfer program may be unwarranted."<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Watson|first1=Brett|last2=Guettabi|first2=Mouhcine|last3=Reimer|first3=Matthew|date=April 5, 2019|title=Universal Cash and Crime|journal=The Review of Economics and Statistics|volume=102|issue=4|pages=678–689|doi=10.1162/rest_a_00834|s2cid=102354744|issn=0034-6535|doi-access=free}}</ref>

A 2024 paper in ''[[Poverty & Public Policy]]'' found that the Alaska Permanent Fund "reduced the number of Alaskans with incomes below the US poverty threshold by 20%–40%" and "reduced poverty rates of rural Indigenous Alaskans from 28% to less than 22%".<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Berman |first=Matthew |date=May 27, 2024 |title=A rising tide that lifts all boats: Long-term effects of the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend on poverty |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pop4.398 |journal=Poverty & Public Policy |language=en |volume=16 |issue=2 |pages=126–145 |doi=10.1002/pop4.398 |issn=1944-2858}}</ref>
