Research Abstract

The objective of the research project is to analyze theoretically and empirically the influence of the sense of disparity of individuals on economic growth and regional disparity, together with international comparisons. We had conducted surveys on the determinants of happiness and life satisfaction in Japan and Singapore, and analyzed the data collected. The empirical results showed that the non-zero-sum life goals had very different influences on life satisfaction in these two countries due to different prevailing conditions. Non-zero-sum life goals had large positive influence on life satisfaction in Singapore. In Japan, on the other hand, the influence of non-zero-sum life goals on life satisfaction was not significant. This result offers a highly probable reason for the growing sense of disparity in Japan.
