00925njm 22002777a 4500 dc Acosta González, Hugo Nicolás author Marcenaro-Gutiérrez, Óscar David author 2020-12-10 We test whether various measures of relative income and rank income hypothesis explain life satisfaction in Ecuador. We found robust evidence that the rank position of the income within the reference group explains life satisfaction. In contrast, the effect of relative income measures on happiness is sensitive to the variables used to construct the reference group. Acosta, H. N., Marcenaro-Gutiérrez, O. D.
