除了收入之外,财富对经济状况和人们的满意度也起着重要作用。迄今为止,作为流量衡量指标的收入与主观幸福感(SWB)之间的关系已被广泛描述。然而,关于财富与主观幸福感之间关系的研究却很少。这主要是由于缺乏足够的微观数据。在本文中,我们利用了德国社会经济小组 (SOEP) 的纵向数据,因为这项调查提供了有关财富以及按 11 分制衡量的总体生活满意度 (GLS) 的个人信息。本文的目的是揭示财富变化与主观幸福感之间的关系。这是通过简单的描述性分析以及净资产和财富组成部分的固定效应回归模型来完成的。我们发现净资产变化对SWB有显着的正向影响。我们估计,在控制了收入和其他个人特征以及时间常数的个人特定异质性的情况下,5 年内净资产变化 1 个百分点,主观幸福感就会增加 0.045 个百分点。我们还发现各种资产类型的影响大小相似,并且对消费者债务产生显着的负面影响。我们的分析表明,财富不仅是缓冲负面生活事件的重要物质资源,而且对主观幸福感具有额外的独立影响。
Besides income, wealth plays an important role for the economic situation as well as the satisfaction of persons. So far the relationship between income as a flow measure and subjective well-being (SWB) is widely described. However, research in the connection between wealth and subjective well-being is scarce. This is predominately due to a lack of adequate microdata. In this paper we make use of longitudinal data from the German Socio-economic Panel (SOEP), as this survey provides individual information on wealth as well as on general life satisfaction (GLS) measured on an 11-point scale. The aim of this paper is to show the relation between wealth changes and SWB. This is done by simple descriptive analyses as well by fixed effect regression models for net worth and wealth components. We find that net worth changes have a significant positive effect on SWB. We estimate an effect size of a 0.045 points increase in SWB for a one percentage change in net worth over a period of 5 years controlling for income and other individual characteristics as well as time-constant individual-specific heterogeneity. We also find similar effect sizes for various asset types and significant negative effects for consumer debt. Our analyses show that wealth is not only an important material resource which can buffer negative life-events, but has an additional independent impact on SWB.
