本研究使用1979年和1996年的日本都道府县数据，考察政府规模与生活满意度之间的关系如何变化。主要研究结果如下：（1）在经济发展阶段，当政府规模阻碍经济增长时，政府规模对生活满意度有不利影响。然而，在发达阶段，当政府规模与经济增长无关时，这种影响明显减弱。(2)特殊化信任与女性的生活满意度显著正相关，而与男性的生活满意度不显著相关。这种趋势在发达阶段更加明显。当控制了地方政府规模和信任代理所引起的内生偏差时，这些结果并没有改变。
This study uses Japanese prefecture-level data for the years 1979 and 1996 to examine how the relationship between government size and life satisfaction changes. The major findings are: (1) Government size has a detrimental effect on life satisfaction when government size impedes economic growth in the economic developing stage. However, this effect clearly decreases when government size is not associated with economic growth in the developed stage. (2) Particularized trust is positively associated with life satisfaction of females but not with that of males. Such a tendency becomes more remarkable in the developed stage. These results are unchanged when the endogeneity bias caused by local government size and proxies of trust are controlled for.
