Abstract: We empirically model individual utility from pay as function of worker’s own wage and the earnings of all other workers within the same establishment. The aims of this paper are twofold: first, to study the mechanisms underlying the importance of relative wages in determining worker satisfaction; second, to assess whether high within establishment wage inequality leads, on average, to high satisfaction. .
