摘要
本文试图对收入-幸福关系的研究做一个述评,以整理文献中关于收入幸福关系
的经验研究成果,梳理文献中关于收入-幸福关系的理论学说,介绍并比较建立在
这些理论解释上的数理模型,探索其相应的政策含义。首先,本文介绍了经济学视
野中的幸福,收入的概念,在此基础上对收入-幸福关系做了一个总体回顾,归纳
了当前关于收入-幸福关系研究的一些成果。接着,作者对已有的关于收入-幸福关
系经验研究文献进行整理,按照其研究对象和领域,对一的比较,一国内经济增长与幸福感的关系,国与国之间收入与幸福感的关
系,以及一国内收入分配与幸福感的关系等四个方面进行阐述。通过这种文献研究
的综合和比较,揭示出性格决定论、需求理论、比较理论以及焦点幻觉理论等四个
关于收入-幸福关系学说的理论基础。随后,作者详细介绍了已有的几种关于收入-
幸福关系的理论,并重点对比较理论中的几种形态进行了分析和比较,从而说明比
较理论对收入-幸福之谜有较强的解释力。接下来,作者又考察了建立这些理论基
础上的数理模型,并对不同的模型进行了分析和比较,发现“门槛”模型中强调的
收入临界值对制定公共政策有新的启示。最后,作者归纳整理了从这些关于幸福与
收入关系的研究中得出的政策含义,说明政府应作的政策选择。

Abstract
This thesis will try to review the literatures about e-happiness relationship, and
also examine b the empirical and theoretical researches of e-happiness
relationship. After that, the thesis introduces mathematical models established on the
basis of the above theories. At last, policy implications are expounded.
First of all, this thesis introduces concepts of happiness and e in economic
perspective, and then summarizes the current research results through making a general
recall on e-happiness relationship. In the following part, the author finds that the
existing literatures about e-happiness relationship can plied into categories
according to its subjects and fields, such as the relationship between e and
happiness in a country; the relationship between domestic economic growth and
happiness, the relationship between e and happiness for different countries; the
relationship between e distribution and happiness in a country. After reviewing the
above aspects of empirical research in literatures, the author introduces four theories (the
Personality theory, Need theory, Comparison theory, and Focus illusion theory) as the
basis for e-happiness relationship. In ession the thesis describes in details and
