Income comparison and happiness: The role of fair income distribution

Relative income gap is one of the most popular approaches for explaining the income–happiness relationship. We argue in this article that when people compare their incomes, they care about distributional fairness more than relative income disparity. It is difficult for us to explain China's income–happiness paradox if we simply compare the income gap and do not explore the income‐generation process leading to income inequality. We therefore employ an approach based on a responsibility‐sensitive theory of justice that decomposes individual income into fair and unfair components. As a proxy for distributional unfairness, unfair income is considered the main source of unhappiness. Using data from the Chinese Household Income Project survey, we find strong support for the negative relationship between income unfairness and happiness. We also find a significantly positive relationship between the relative income gap and income unfairness, which leads us to consider the income comparison hypothesis as the explanation for the income–happiness paradox in a new light. Sensitivity analyses confirm the robustness of our results.

长庆钻井井控安全应急管理与实践

通过对长庆钻井总公司在长庆油田区域钻井施工中的井控应急管理及应急抢险实践做了全面的分析,通过总结分析,认为井控应急管理工作要紧紧围绕实现"杜绝井喷事故、杜绝人员有毒有害气体中毒"的井控工作目标,要通过不断完善井控应急管理网络和完善井控应急管理制度,树立"积极井控"理念,立足于一次井控,坚持"发现溢流立即关井、疑似溢流关井检查"的关井原则,做到"不发生、控得住、治得了",重视井控应急资源的配备、加强井控应急预案演练和应急抢险的组织是确保井控险情处置安全与成功的保障。     

浅谈标准化在油田酸化施工中的作用

针对文留油田在注水开发后期地层污染堵塞严重,近几年酸化效果偏低的情况,加强了对酸化标准的制、修订工作,从选井原则到对酸化的效果评价一系列操作流程,建立油水井酸化工艺标准体系,成立了酸化措施管理项目组,加大了过程监督。经过标准体系在酸化施工中一年来的应用,酸化效果得到了明显改善。     

How reliable and consistent are subjective measures of welfare in Europe and Central Asia?

This paper analyses the reliability and consistency of subjective well‐being measures, using the Life in Transition Survey. Drawing on two life satisfaction questions with alternative scales, our results do not reveal substantial biases in accounts of life satisfaction due to framing. Subjective individual assessments of household relative income position, on the other hand, do not appear to be reliable predictors of objective poverty or wealth. We find that subjective relative income position is only weakly correlated with objective welfare measures. There are differences in evaluations of the household's relative standing across different household members, and these differences are correlated with respondent characteristics.     

Measurement of Quality of Life and Well‐Being in France: The Drivers of Subjective Well‐Being

Ever since the publication of the Stiglitz Report, France has been heavily involved in the measurement of well‐being. The French Statistical Institute (INSEE) has expanded the scope of its existing surveys. It has also launched an innovative experimental survey which, drawing upon a single statistical source, aims for the first time to explore the different dimensions of both objective and subjective quality of life, as highlighted in the Stiglitz Report. It allows us to study, at the individual level, correlations between these dimensions and the accumulation of deprivations. It has enabled us to better understand the links between determinants generally referred to as objective dimensions of quality of life (such as health or education) and subjective well‐being. This information is of paramount importance for policy makers who cannot act directly on the level of people's satisfaction but can only act upon the levers of objective dimensions. This paper presents the main findings of the experimental survey.
