本文根据Clark和Oswald（1996）提出的相对效用假设，对日本工会工人进行了初步实证检验。虽然我们的研究结果支持日本工会工人存在相对效用，但也提出了一个警告。我们认为，构建相对收入衡量标准的传统方法可能是不合适的，至少对于日本工会工人来说是这样。
This paper presents preliminary results of empirical tests for Japanese union workers on a relative utility hypothesis, along the line developed by Clark and Oswald (1996). While our results support the existence of relative utility among Japanese union workers, a caveat is presented. We argue that the traditional approach in constructing a measure of relative income might be inappropriate, at least with regard to Japanese union workers.
