摘要 Using data from Taiwan and the US, this study empirically investigates the potential difference of income effect on subjective well-being in the East versus the West. It finds that while relative individual income raises happiness in the US, relative family income only improves life satisfaction in Taiwan. This finding highlights different cultural values in that the East tends to emphasize the welfare of one’s family (collectivism) while the West tends to emphasize the welfare of oneself (individualism).
