文化发展与民众幸福之间关系的几点思考

文化是人在与动物不同的谋生存和谋发展的生活方式中形成和沉淀下来的东西。文化发展与民众幸福息息相关，但是文化发展对民众生活的具体影响却很少有人探讨。因此，梳理我国当前文化发展现状，分析文化发展现状对民众生活的具体影响，探讨文化发展与民众幸福的一般关系，展望未来文化发展的趋势，对于我们构建支撑人民幸福生活的文化至关重要。     

Increasing consumer well-being: risk as potential driver of happiness

This article investigates the relation between risk and individual well-being. We propose a theoretical model of happiness that makes a distinction between ex ante evaluations of happiness and ex post assessments. The main assumptions of the model are tested through three studies based on anchoring vignettes. We show that, even if, ex ante, consumers fear high risk and do not associate it to a high level of happiness, their ex post evaluation of well-being is generally higher when identical consequences result from a high-risk situation than from a low-risk situation. Control over risk-taking reinforces the gap between ex ante and ex post measures of happiness. Thus, our article provides empirical evidence about a positive relation between risk and individual well-being, suggesting that risky experiences have the potential to increase consumer well-being.     

河南省农村居民幸福度调查研究

居民幸福度是我国构建和谐社会的一个重要内容。河南省是我国中部地区一个欠发达省份,通过对河南省农村居民调查、数理统计分析、建立幸福度评价模型等发现,经济问题仍是河南省农村居民幸福度提升的基础;影响河南省农村居民幸福度的因素已向多元化方向发展;健康问题已成为影响农村居民幸福度的重要因素;老人及离异、伤偶或独居的人的幸福度最低。     

Happiness of economists

We study the importance of economists’ professional situation towards their life satisfaction based on a unique survey of mostly academic economists. On average, economists report to be highly happy with life. Satisfaction is positively related to spending more time on doing research. The lack of a tenured position decreases satisfaction. However, the extent to which the uncertainty created by the tenure system affects satisfaction varies with the contract terms. The effect is stronger if the contract expires in the near future or cannot be extended. Publication success has no effect if it is controlled for academic rank and the contract duration. The finding suggests that publications are rather a means to an end, for example, to acquire a tenured position. While the perceived level of external pressure also has no impact, the perceived change of pressure in recent years is positively related to economists’ life satisfaction. An explanation is that economists have accepted a high level of pressure when entering academia but are not willing to cope with the recent increase.     

Does sport make you happy? An analysis of the well‐being derived from sports participation

This paper examines the impact of sports participation upon the subjective well‐being of individuals. Encouraging participation in sports activity is now an important public policy issue, as it is argued that there are benefits in terms of health and well‐being to individuals as well as to society through externalities. Controlling for personal and socio‐demographic characteristics affecting well‐being, this paper examines if participation in, and the frequency and duration of, 67 sports activities affects well‐being. The form in which sports participation takes place is also investigated by examining if social‐interaction sports produce more well‐being. This paper demonstrates that sports participation has a positive affect upon the subjective well‐being of the population and, moreover, estimates its monetary value. The effects are larger if one allows for social interactions.     

中国近代建设的伟大先行者——重温孙中山《在安徽都督府欢迎会的演说》

Exploring the influence of tourists’ happiness on revisit intention in the context of Traditional Chinese Medicine cultural tourism

Based on how tourists interpret the destination experience and on attachment theory, this study investigates the influencing mechanism of tourists' happiness on revisit intention for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) cultural tourism destinations. Three tourist samples confirm the three dimensions of tourists' happiness: positive emotions, engagement, and meaning. Two surveys were conducted to test the direct and indirect influence of tourists' happiness on revisit intention and the moderating role of tourists' health consciousness. The results show that tourists' happiness promotes memorable tourism experience and place attachment, in turn stimulating revisit intention. The results also support health consciousness as a significant moderator between happiness, place attachment, and revisit intention. The findings enrich theoretical understanding of tourists’ happiness and provide marketing and management advice for TCM cultural tourism destinations.     

“新常态”下政府如何提高人们的幸福感——基于民生满意度视角

“新常态”下,如何提高居民的幸福感,摆脱“Easterlin悖论”的发展困境,是政府面临的一大问题。利用中国社会综合调查（CGSS）2013年的微观数据,通过构建民生满意度指数,实证分析了民生满意度对居民幸福感的影响以及民生满意度的影响因素。研究发现,提高收入水平并不一定会持续提高居民的幸福感,但提升民生满意度是提升居民幸福感的一个非常稳健的途径,民生满意度指数每提高 0.1,幸福感将提升 0.0675,大致相当于阶层认同上升一个等级、人均住房面积增加1.6倍;对于收入水平、阶层地位和经济地位较低的群体,民生满意度的幸福效应更大。在影响民生满意度的微观个体因素中：公共服务充足度、均衡度、便利度、普惠度的满意状况对民生满意度均有显著的正向影响,相互之间几乎不存在替代性,充足度的影响最大;收入与民生满意度呈倒U型关系;受教育程度、阶层认同和主观家庭经济地位对民生满意度均有显著的负向影响。     

生儿育女的福利效应:子女数量及其性别对父母幸福感的影响

孩子被认为能够为父母带来效用但实证结果却充满争议。中国的计划生育带来的生育数量限制是否带来了相应的福利代价?而生育孩子的性别构成是否对父母们的幸福感产生重要影响?基于中国综合社会调查微观数据的研究表明,是否为独生子女父母并不是影响幸福感的显著因素,但是女孩相比于男孩更有助于提高父母们的幸福感。这个结果在全样本、农村以及城市人口、不同受教育程度、中年人群中都是一样的。但孩子的数量和性别对年轻及老年父母的幸福感均没有显著影响。这些结果和养育成本、人们的生育意愿和生育行为变化以及男女的不同性别角色等都是有关的。     

农村城镇化的对策研究：国际经验与天津实践

城镇化建设是我国正在经历的一次经济与社会结构转型。通过对城镇化进程的再定义,指出居民幸福感提升应是判断城镇化建设成败的终极标准。要在城镇化进程中提升居民幸福感,就必须解决好城乡居民生存与发展机会的分配问题。结合世界各国城镇化的经验教训提出,产业竞争力问题、“三衣”问题和公共服务质量问题是城乡居民生产与发展机会分配过程中的三个核心问题。以天津市农村城镇化建设的重要实践为例,进一步分析解决好三个核心问题的必要制度安排。
