以往空气污染的福利成本评估研究并未关注其对心理健康和主观幸福感的潜在影响。本文试图通过调查空气污染对几个关键维度的影响来填补这一差距，这些维度包括心理健康状况、抑郁症状、即时幸福感和评价性幸福感。我们根据调查的确切时间和地点，将中国全国范围的纵向调查与当地的空气质量和丰富的天气条件相匹配。通过利用同一个人随着时间的推移暴露于空气污染的变化，我们表明空气污染降低了享乐幸福感，增加了抑郁症状的发生率，而生活满意度与直接的空气质量几乎没有关系。我们的研究结果揭示了空气污染是伊斯特林悖论的重要贡献者，即经济增长可能不会带来更多的幸福。
Previous studies evaluating the welfare cost of air pollution have not paid much attention to its potential effect on mental health and subjective well-being (SWB). This paper attempts to fill the gap by investigating the impact of air pollution on several key dimensions, including mental health status, depressive symptoms, moment-to-moment happiness, and evaluative happiness. We match a nationwide longitudinal survey in China with local air quality and rich weather conditions according to the exact time and place of survey. By making use of variations in exposure to air pollution for the same individuals over time, we show that air pollution reduces hedonic happiness and increases the rate of depressive symptoms, while life satisfaction has little to do with the immediate air quality. Our results shed light on air pollution as an important contributor to the Easterlin paradox that economic growth may not bring more happiness.
