| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated heterogeneity in preferences of economic agents using data from developed countries. First, it attempted to extend existing studies which showed that allowing for the subsistence level of consumption is useful when modeling heterogeneity in preferences. Second, this study utilized a framework in which it is assumed that economic agents do not know the true model, and showed that there is a relation between heterogeneity in preferences and the degree of model uncertainty aversion.
