人们对自己收入相对地位的评价并不像相对收入假说假设的那样准确。从实证调查数据观察到，收入评价集中在中间。我们建立了一个模型，假设收入比较的主观收入参考分布来解释收入评价的集中现象。我们使用贝叶斯统计模型进行理论分析和经验参数估计。理论分析表明，当主观参考分布比客观分布更分散时，收入评价分布发生集中。使用2015年日本数据进行的实证分析表明，主观和客观分布之间的关系因社会经历不同的社会类别而异。女性的分布比男性更模糊。在男子中，45-54岁年龄组的主观分布最接近客观分布。因此，只有通过构建模型，才能澄清潜在地定义人们对其收入的评价及其基于社会类别的差异的主观参考收入分配。
People’s evaluation of the relative position of their income is not as accurate as the relative income hypothesis assumes. It is observed from empirical survey data that income evaluation is concentrated in the middle. We develop a model that assumes income comparison on a subjective income reference distribution to explain the centralization phenomenon of income evaluation. We conduct theoretical analysis and empirical parameter estimation using Bayesian statistical modeling. The theoretical analysis shows that the centralization of income evaluation distribution occurs when the subjective reference distribution is more dispersed than the objective distribution. Empirical analysis using Japanese data from 2015 shows that the relationship between subjective and objective distributions differed depending on social categories with different social experiences. Women had a more ambiguous distribution than men. Among men, those aged 45–54 had a subjective distribution closest to the objective distribution. Thus, the subjective reference income distributions that potentially define people’s evaluation of their income and their differences based on social category were only clarified by constructing the model.
