Abstract
"Why do we believe that more money will buy us more happiness (when in fact it does not)? In this paper, we propose a model to explain this puzzle. The model incorporates both adaptation and social comparison. A rational person who fully accounted for the dynamics of these factors would indeed buy more happiness with money. We argue that projection bias, the tendency to project our current reference levels into the future, precludes subjects from correctly calculating the utility obtained from consumption. Projection bias has two effects. First, it makes people overrate the happiness that they will obtain from money. Second, it makes people misallocate their consumption budget by consuming too much at the beginning of the planning horizon, or consuming too many adaptive goods" ["¿Por qué creemos que más dinero nos va a comprar más felicidad (cuando, de hecho, no lo hace)? en este trabajo se propone un modelo para explicar este enigma. El modelo incorpora tanto la adaptación y la comparación social. Una persona racional que tenga representó la dinámica de estos factores sería de hecho comprar más felicidad con el dinero. Argumentamos que el sesgo de proyección, la tendencia a proyectar nuestros actuales niveles de referencia en el futuro, se opone a los sujetos calcular correctamente la utilidad obtenida de consumo. El sesgo de proyección tiene dos efectos. En primer lugar, hace que la gente sobrevalorar la felicidad que obtendrá del dinero. En segundo lugar, hace que la gente mala asignación su presupuesto de consumo por consumir demasiado al principio del horizonte de planificación, o consumir demasiados bienes de adaptación"]
