摘要

我们提供的调查证据表明，大多数人更喜欢星期五而不是星期天。此外，我们对这一事实的两种解释相互对立，即预期的快乐假说和韦伯定律。根据预期快乐假说，周五预示着周末的到来，而周日则不然。韦伯定律预测，随着周末的过去，人们对有趣的新事件的感知会相对减少，这给人的印象是，随着周日的到来，时间会缩短。我们的研究结果支持预期快乐假说。JEL:D91，D15

Why Is Friday Better than Sunday?

We present survey evidence that most people prefer Friday to Sunday. Moreover, we pit against one another two explanations for this fact, the joy of anticipation hypothesis and the Weber law. According to the joy of anticipation hypothesis, Friday promises a weekend ahead, and Sunday does not. The Weber law predicts a relative decrease in the perception of interesting new events as the weekend passes, contributing to the impression that time is shortened as Sunday comes. Our findings favour the joy of anticipation hypothesis. JEL: D91, D15
