论文摘要
本文使用了加拿大社区一级汇总的主观生活满意度的数据，并研究了社区幸福的空间相互依赖性和空间溢出。提出了一个理论上的实用性模型。使用空间计量经济学技术，我们发现，社区的实用性是由主观的生活满意度衡量标准，既受邻近社区的效用以及后者的平均家庭收入和失业率的影响。共同的文化特征和机构可以证明此类溢出是合理的。结果对于所使用的不同二元连续性空间权重矩阵和各种计量经济学模型是可靠的。根据Moran的I测试，还可以找到高高和低低生活满意度的集群
This article uses data of subjective Life Satisfaction aggregated to the community level in Canada and examines the spatial interdependencies and spatial spillovers of community happiness. A theoretical model of utility is presented. Using spatial econometric techniques, we find that the utility of community, proxied by subjective measures of life satisfaction, is affected both by the utility of neighbouring communities as well as by the latter's average household income and unemployment rate. Shared cultural traits and institutions may justify such spillovers. The results are robust to the different binary contiguity spatial weights matrices used and to the various econometric models. Clusters of both high-high and low-low in Life Satisfaction communities are also found based on the Moran's I test
