自收入幸福悖论被提出以来,大量文献探究了收入和幸福感的关系,但通常忽略消费。本文利用CGSS2010的调查数据,研究消费及其分类消费对我国居民幸福感的影响。研究发现:消费的绝对值和相对值对幸福感均存在显著的正向影响,但消费对幸福感的影响比收入小;消费对不同群体幸福感的影响存在差异,收入越低、受教育程度越低、经济社会阶层越低,消费对幸福感的影响越大;分类消费中服装、交通通讯、耐用消费品、文化休闲娱乐、人情送礼等支出对幸福感的影响较大。本文的研究结论为政府逐步提升人民消费水平和幸福感提供了可靠的决策依据。
Abstract：Since happiness-income paradox was proposed,there has been a vast economic literature on the relationship between income and happiness,but surprisingly very little on effects of consumption on happiness. Based on CGSS2010,the impacts of consumption and classified consumption on happiness are studied. The results show that,both the absolute and relative consumption has a prominent positive effect on happiness,but consumption has a weaker effect on happiness than income. The impacts of consumption on happiness of different groups exhibit some differences,specifically,the lower income,education and class,the stronger impact of consumption on happiness. Among the classified consumption,consumption on clothes,communication,durable,leisure and gift has significant influence on happiness. These empirical findings have some implications for government to make proper policies aiming at improving people's consumption and happiness.

1有一些分类消费数据缺失较多,直接加总会造成很多样本缺失,为了防止有效样本的大幅减少,本文将这些部分缺失的分类消费数据默认为零,对这些人均分类消费数据为0的数据,加1后再取对数。
1在引入交互项之前,对一些解释变量进行了处理:对消费的绝对值进行中心化处理;由于收入和消费高度相关,故将收入以区县为单位进行5等分,变成有序分类变量;为简单起见,将受教育程度变成有序分类变量,1~4分别代表未上过学、初等教育、中等教育和高等教育;将主观社会阶层划分为3类,1~3分别为下等阶层、中等阶层和上等阶层。
