Research Abstract |
I conducted an internet-based large-scale survey of hypothetical choice experiment on the relative utility hypothesis which posits that human being make decisions taking into account not only their own conditions but also consequences of their behavior on social interactions. I showed that not only the intensity but also the distribution of relative utility are different across specific comparison benchmarks, and across types of reference groups people are facing in the experiments. The relative utility effect among Japanese respondents is found to be not as strong as can validate the Easterlin paradox.
