Subjective Well- being and Economic Growth: A Review

经济学是关于人类幸福的科学。改革开放以来,经济增长取得了瞩目成就,但也陷入了"幸福停滞"的困境,经济增长不等价于国民幸福。传统以经济成就指标衡量幸福容易导致经济增长与幸福初衷的背离。本文试图对经济增长与主观幸福感之间关系的研究进展进行综述,探析影响国民幸福的原因和主观幸福感对经济增长的反作用,并结合已有成果,展望了未来的研究方向及挑战,以期为今后的研究提供一定的启示与借鉴。

Economics is the science of human happiness. Since reform and opening up,China’s economic growth has made remarkable achievements,but also fell into a dilemma of"stagnant happiness". Economic growth is not equivalent to national happiness. Using traditional economic indicators to measure happiness can easily lead economic growth to deviate from the original intention. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the existing research on the relationship between subjective well- being and economic growth,and analyzes the causes of happiness and the reaction mechanism of subjective well- being to economic growth. Then it prospects for future directions and challenges in order to offer enlightenment and references for future research.
