在美国大都市地区，自我报告的主观幸福感持续存在差异，衰退城市的居民似乎比其他城市的居民更不快乐。然而，一些人继续搬到这些地区，新居民似乎和长期居民一样不快乐。虽然有关幸福的历史数据有限，但现有的事实表明，现在正在衰落的城市在其繁荣的过去也不幸福。这些事实支持了这样一种观点，即个人并不是单独地最大化幸福，而是将其与其他参数一起沿着在效用函数中。人们可能会在幸福与其他竞争目标之间进行权衡。
There are persistent differences in self-reported subjective well-being across US metropolitan areas, and residents of declining cities appear less happy than others. Yet some people continue to move to these areas, and newer residents appear to be as unhappy as longer-term residents. While historical data on happiness are limited, the available facts suggest that cities that are now declining were also unhappy in their more prosperous past. These facts support the view that individuals do not maximize happiness alone but include it in the utility function along with other arguments. People may trade off happiness against other competing objectives.
