然而,有预言说随着国家变得越来越富有,其情绪将会改善,这一预言并不可靠。1974年,经济学家理查德 · 伊斯特林发现,1946年至1970年间,美国人均国内生产总值增长了65% ,而其生活满意度却停滞不前。他在其他地方也发现了类似的脱节现象。纵观各个国家,收入与幸福之间存在关联——尽管经济衰退是痛苦的来源——但长期国内生产总值增长似乎不足以扭转公众的不满情绪。
The "Easterlin paradox" has been hotly disputed since, with some economists claiming to find a link between growth and rising happiness by using better quality data. On March 20th the latest Gallup data were presented in the World Happiness Report, an annual UN-backed study. The new data provide some ammunition for both sides of the debate but, on the whole, suggest that the paradox is alive and well.
自那以来,“伊斯特林悖论”一直备受争议,一些经济学家声称,他们通过使用更高质量的数据,找到了经济增长与幸福感上升之间的联系。3月20日,最新的盖洛普数据在联合国支持的年度《世界幸福报告》中发布。这一新数据为辩论双方提供了一些把柄,但总体而言,这一悖论仍然存在。
There are important examples of national income and happiness rising and falling together. The most significant—in terms of population—is China, where GDP per person has doubled over a decade, while average happiness has risen by 0.43 points. Among rich countries Germany enjoys higher incomes and greater cheer than ten years ago. Venezuela, once the fifth-happiest country in the world, has become miserable as its economy has collapsed. Looking across countries, growth is correlated with rising happiness.
