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绝大多数人的最大幸福,那我们实在有必要研究怎样才能增进人们的幸福。
Empirical studies show that the increase of economic growth and per capita income does not bring about an increase in the national happiness level, which undoubtedly runs counter to the traditional theory of absolute income utility. However, the introduction of relative income theory may lead to economic growth meaningless, while another theory attempts to introduce the desire set into the utility function in order to solve the paradox of income and happiness. If the goal of social policy is to realize the greatest happiness of the overwhelming majority of people, then it is really necessary for us to study how we can enhance people’s happiness.
