在这篇论文中，我们考察了转型期国家从1988年到2008年的经济福祉趋势，以确定转型期国家的人口今天是否比转型进程之前更富裕。为此，我们考察了经济表现、不平等调整后的幸福感指标、主观幸福感指标以及幸福感的非收入维度。虽然许多转型国家的一些福祉指标显示，与转型前相比有所改善，但不平等程度的急剧上升以及社会指标和主观幸福感水平较低表明，许多国家的福祉与转型前的水平相似，甚至低于转型前的水平。显示持续改善的唯一指标是政治和公民自由的衡量标准。(C)2011爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
In this paper we examine trends in economic well-being in transition countries from 1988 to 2008 to determine whether the populations of transition countries are better off today than prior to the transition process. To do this, we examine economic performance, inequality-adjusted well-being measures, subjective wellbeing measures, and non-income dimensions of well-being. While for many of the transition countries some indicators of well-being show improvements compared to the pre-transition period, the sharp rise in inequality and low levels of social indicators and subjective well-being suggest that well-being in many countries is similar to, or even below, the levels experienced prior to transition. The only indicators which have shown consistent improvements are measures of political and civil liberties. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
