摘要
经验研究显示,经济增长和人均收入的提高并没有带来国民幸福程度的上升,这无疑违背了传统的绝对收入效用理论。但是,引入相对收入理论将可能导致经济增长变得毫无意义,而另一种理论试图将欲望集引入效用函数以此来解决收入与幸福的悖论。如果社会政策的目标是实现大多数人的最大幸福,那么我们就有必要研究怎样才能增进人们的幸福。
Empirical study shows that the economic growth and the increase of per capita income have not brought about the increase of people's happiness, which is contradict with traditional absolute income utility theorem. But the introduction of comparison income theory may make economic growth meaningless, while another theory attempts to introduce desire into utility function to solve the contradictory of income and happiness. If the aim of social policies is to realize the greatest happiness of the majority of the people, it is necessary for us to study how to increase people's happiness.
