在斯蒂格利茨委员会的报告之后,衡量和比较各国的福祉重新引起人们的兴趣。然而,超越收入并纳入福利的非市场层面的分析往往依赖于相同偏好的假设,以避免与人际比较有关的困难。在本文中,我们提出了一个国际比较的基础上,个人福利排名,充分保留偏好异质性。专注于消费休闲权衡,我们估计离散选择劳动力供给模型使用协调的微观数据为11个欧洲国家和美国。我们检索偏好的异质性内和国家之间,并分析了几个福利标准,考虑到收入的差异,部分是由于口味的差异。由此产生的福利排名显然取决于偏好异质性与替代指标的规范性处理。我们发现,这些差异确实可以解释为估计偏好异质性的国家,而不是人口组成。
Following the report of the Stiglitz Commission, measuring and comparing well-being across countries has gained renewed interest. Yet, analyses that go beyond income and incorporate non-market dimensions of welfare most often rely on the assumption of identical preferences to avoid the difficulties related to interpersonal comparisons. In this paper, we suggest an international comparison based on individual welfare rankings that fully retain preference heterogeneity. Focusing on the consumption-leisure trade-off, we estimate discrete choice labor supply models using harmonized microdata for 11 European countries and the US. We retrieve preference heterogeneity within and across countries and analyze several welfare criteria which take into account that differences in income are partly due to differences in tastes. The resulting welfare rankings clearly depend on the normative treatment of preference heterogeneity with alternative metrics. We show that these differences can indeed be explained by estimated preference heterogeneity across countries—rather than demographic composition.
