Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I have finished the following three research programs on social preferences of income comparisons: (i) with the subjective well-being data from Japan and India, the effects of income comparisons were estimated, (ii) with choice data from hypothetical choice experiment in Japan, the US, and the UK, the effects of income comparisons were estimated. In the US and the UK, additional experiments to see how survey-respondents reacted to information provisions were conducted, and (iii) by comparing the results of two different approaches, I suggested how economists should understand implications obtained from subjective well-being data.
