Comment by Henri Sterdyniak
Ecomomist at Observatoire français des conjonctures économiques
S’il règle le problème du non-recours et réduit la pauvreté monétaire, s’il permet d’éviter la stigmatisation et de supprimer les contrôles humiliants, le revenu de base a un coût financier important, non pas dû à son objectif principal, aider les personnes en situation de précarité, mais à une conséquence latérale, verser une somme importante à tous. Vu ce coût, la crédibilité de sa mise en place est faible.Disputed source (2016)

The passage does appear verbatim in the supplied OFCE PDF, in the conclusion on page 11 (lines 589-594). But the source attributes the policy brief to two authors — Guillaume Allègre and Henri Sterdyniak — and its citation note likewise names both, so this is not strictly attributable to Henri Sterdyniak alone from this source.

The source URL (http://www.ofce.sciences-po.fr/pdf-articles/actu/PolicyBrief10-1-.pdf) returns HTTP 403 Forbidden, blocking automated access. The same document hosted on HAL Science (https://sciencespo.hal.science/hal-03459106/file/2016-allegre-sterdyniak-le-revenu-universel.pdf) also blocks bot access. However, web search confirms the document exists and is a 2016 OFCE Policy Brief titled "Le revenu universel: une utopie utile?" co-authored by Guillaume Allègre and Henri Sterdyniak. The quote's content (arguing UBI has high financial costs due to paying everyone, making its implementation credibility low) is consistent with the known arguments in this paper. The vote direction "against" implementing UBI is correct based on the quote's clear skepticism. Note: The paper is co-authored by Guillaume Allègre, so the attribution to Sterdyniak alone is partially incomplete, though Sterdyniak is indeed one of the authors. Year 2016 is correct. Could not directly verify the exact quote text appears in the PDF due to bot-blocking by both the OFCE and HAL servers.
