在过去的几十年里，社会科学中对主观幸福感的实证研究为个人幸福的话语提供了一个重要的新刺激。最近，这项研究也与经济学有关，其中报告的主观幸福感通常被视为个人福利的替代措施。在我们的评论中，我们打算提供一个评估的经济研究幸福的立场和三个方向，它可能发展。首先，它为检验经济学方法的基本假设和对效用的新理解提供了新的方法。其次，它为经济学中跨领域理论的互补检验提供了新的可能性。第三，我们探讨从经济学中的个人幸福研究中获得的见解如何影响公共政策。
Over the last decades, empirical research on subjective well-being in the social sciences has provided a major new stimulation of the discourse on individual happiness. Recently this research has also been linked to economics where reported subjective well-being is often taken as a proxy measure for individual welfare. In our review, we intend to provide an evaluation of where the economic research on happiness stands and of three directions it might develop. First, it offers new ways for testing the basic assumptions of the economic approach and for going about a new understanding of utility. Second, it provides a new possibility for the complementary testing of theories across fields in economics. Third, we inquire how the insights gained from the study of individual happiness in economics affect public policy.
