住房作为最基本的生活必需品，其供给的充裕度和公平性对居民福祉（功能性福祉和心理性福祉）影响是基础性和全面性的。住房制度是调节制约住房供给与需求的制度性安排，为此对居民福祉（功能性和心理性）具有决定性影响。改革开放以来中国城镇住房制度经历多次重大变迁，对促进城镇住房供给水平成效很大，但城镇居民个体福祉尤其心理性福祉并没有同等增加。本项目从多学科交叉的视角来系统性研究中国城镇住房制度变迁如何影响居民福祉包括心理性福祉尤其主观幸福感(SWB)的机理原理和传导机制，同时通过计量实证研究和政策仿真模拟实验等多种效应评估方法，力图掌握充分翔实的科学证据，以此为增进居民福祉包括主观幸福感受为导向的住房制度改革方案优化提供思路方法和科学依据。

As a fundamental living necessities, housing plays a critical role affecting in people’s wellbeing including their subjective happiness. Housing system regulates both the supply and demand of housing and thus influences people’s wellbeing and happiness significantly. Previous studies of housing system largely ignores the effects of housing system on people’s wellbeing and particularly happiness. This project will first construct theoretic frameworks to analyze how housing system may affect household’s wellbeing and subjective happiness, and then conduct both empirical research and policy simulation experiments to find scientific evidences that may help guiding the happiness-oriented improvement of China’s urban housing policy.
