绝对收入、相对收入与主观幸福感——来自中国城乡住户调查数据的经验分析

文章以我国住户调查数据为基础,经验性地讨论了收入与主观幸福感的关系.研究表明,绝对收入与主观幸福感之间具有显著的正向关联,即便控制了相对收入效应,绝对收入的影响仍较显著.因此无论是相对意义还是绝对意义,收入仍然是提升主观幸福感的重要因素.但是另一方面,主观幸福感与收入水平之间的相关程度并不高,主观幸福感决定中的非收入因素也值得进一步关注.

Absolute Income,Relative Income and Subjective Well-being:Empirical Test Based on the Sample Data of Urban and Rural Households in China

Based on the household survey,the paper empirically analyzes the relation between income and subjective well-being. The results show that there is positive and significant correlation between absolute income and subjective well-being,even if the effect of relative income is eliminated. Therefore,the income plays an important role in the improvement of subjective well-being. But the correlation between subjective well-being and income level is not strong,so we should pay attention to some non-income factors.
