统计研究

本文介绍了经济合作与发展组织(OECD)探索和研发的生活质量指数(YBLI),包括其构建背景、研究意义、指标体系以及测算方法;利用OECD公布的其成员国生活质量指数得分数据,深入研究了OECD成员国生活质量指数、物质生活条件指数和生活品质指数的统计特征,以及三者与人均国民总收入的关系。结论表明:物质生活条件指数随收入的上升而提高,但生活质量指数和生活品质指数随收入上升的趋势却呈非线性特征,存在显著的门槛效应。该研究的目的是为了探索较GDP更好的测算社会进步的方法,推动统计报表制度改革与创新。

This paper introduces Your Better Life Index(YBLI) which is developed by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD),including the construction background,research significance,index system and calculating methods.It studies the statistical characteristics of Your Better Life Index,Material Living Condition Index(MLCI),Quality of Life Index(QLI) and the relationship between each of these indicators and GNI per Capita by the data of Your Better Life Index of its member countries published by OECD.The conclusion shows that MLCI increases as GNI per Capita rises,but the relationship between YBLI and GNI per Capita and the relationship between QLI and GNI per Capita are both nonlinear,which means that there are significant threshold effects.The aim of this study is to explore better methods to measure social progress,and to promote the reform and innovation in the system of statistical reports.
