中国城市幸福感的空间差异及影响因素

本文以我国地级以上城市数据为基础,利用空间计量经济模型对幸福感的空间分布状况及其影响因素进行了分析检验。研究结论表明,我国城市幸福感呈现出典型的俱乐部特征并带有显著的地域差异。幸福感作为一种较为长期稳定的指标,受到前期条件、城市人均储蓄状况、公共服务等变量影响,而城市人均GDP、基础设施、城市特征等硬性指标对幸福感的空间差异几无影响。此外,上述影响因素的区域效应也必须引起足够重视。在推进"幸福城市"建设中,构建一个"倾斜而平坦"的城市体系显得尤为重要。

Spatial Heterogeneity of Urban Happiness and Its Influencing Factors in China

This paper uses spatial econometrics to analyze the spatial distribution of "Urban Happiness" and its influencing factors based on data of prefecture-level cities of China.It finds that urban happiness presents a distinguished geographic gap and forms a typical club feature.Being a stable index,Urban Happiness is influenced by factors such as previous conditions,urban income per capita and people’s saving condition.On the other hand,the objective indicators such as urban gross domestic product,infrastructure,and urban characteristics in the lag model have no effect.Besides,the regional effect among influencing factors should be paid more attention.The findings imply that it’s currently urgent to build a "skew while flat" urban system.
