空喊口号解决不了问题幸福离不开财富

In recent years, Justin Wolfers, an economist now working at the Brookings Institution, armed with new polling data, has tried to show that there is no paradox. He summarised his findings in a speech to the CFA Institute in Chicago last week.

最近几年，现供职于布鲁金斯学会(Brookings Institution)的经济学家贾斯汀•沃尔弗斯(Justin Wolfers)手中有了新的调查数据，他试图证明，这里面不存在悖论。他最近在芝加哥特许金融分析师协会(CFA Institute)的一次演讲中总结了他的发现。

His data include international polls carried out by the World Values Survey, which has been in operation since 1981, the Gallup World Poll, which started work in 2005, and the Pew Global Attitudes Survey, which has conducted surveys since 2002. These surveys reveal that the link between wealth and happiness is not only strong, but stronger than most would think. Within countries, people get happier as they rise up the income scale, with surveys showing that 100 per cent of those on more than $500,000 a year are happy.

他的数据包括“世界价值观调查”（World Values Survey，始于1981年）、“盖洛普世界调查”（Gallup World Poll，始于2005年）以及“皮尤全球态度调查”（Pew Global Attitudes Survey，始于2002年）等全球调查。这些调查显示，财富与幸福不仅关系紧密，而且紧密程度超出多数人的想象。在国家内部，人们会随着收入水平的提高而感觉更幸福，调查显示，年收入超过50万美元的人100%都感觉幸福。
