| Research Abstract |
In this research, a relationship between poverty of households and perception of their happiness and social position, and the mobility of satisfaction with living which is supposed to be closely related to the change of households' poverty condition are analyzed empirically using micro-data such as panel data. Since data of subjective perception such as happiness are ordinal data, Bayesian method for estimating the ordered probit model and the multivariate ordered probit model are used. Through the research, we provided a new concept,"regret", to measure inequality of subjective perception from the posterior results of the latent variables used in the estimation.
