中国幸福指数的构建

The Construction of Chinese Happiness Index

近年来,在中国创建和谐社会的进程中,民生问题和环境问题引起人们极大的关注。文章从投入与产出的角度,基于以人为本和可持续发展的原则,构建中国幸福指数。通过中国幸福指数测量中国各地区在追求居民幸福生活产出的同时,是否关注生态资源的投入。该指数的理论框架来源于幸福星球指数。文章的创新之处在于,构建的中国幸福指数的分子部分代表人们的幸福生活产出,分母部分代表生态资源的投入,以此衡量中国各地区追求幸福的生态效率,或可持续的幸福水平。

In recent years, people＇s livelihood and environmental issues have aroused a great concern in the process of building a harmonious society in China. Therefore, based on the principles of people- centered and sustainable development, the paper constructs Chinese happiness index from the perspective of input and output.It will tell us whether the Chinese provinces （regions） or cities pay attention to the input of ecological resources while in the pursuit of the output of residents＇ happy life.The index＇ s theoretical framework is derived from the happy planet index .The residents＇ life satisfaction in provinces （regions） or cities is multiplied by resident＇ s life expectancy,then the result which is called happy life year is divided by their respective ecological footprint. The innovation of this paper lies in the Chinese happiness index construction ,whose numerator stands for the output of people＇ s happy life and the denominator stands for the input of the ecological resources, which measures the eco - efficiency of people＇ s happy life or sustainable happiness.
