环境质量、环境认知与居民幸福感——基于CGSS(2013)微观数据的实证分析

Using the micro survey data and environmental monitoring data of China Comprehensive Society CGSS (2013), this paper constructs an ordered probit model to empirically examine the impact of subjective environmental cognition and objective environmental quality on the residents’ sense of well － being. The results show that objective environmental quality has a significant impact on residents’ sense of well － being, which is negatively correlated with the satisfaction assessment of subjective environmental cognition. The factors affecting the sense of well － being are regionally different in the Eastern and Central and Western China. Furthermore, a model including the environmental pollution index and GDP interactions shows that the slower GDP growth is, the greater the impact of objective environmental quality on the residents’ sense of well － being. Finally, it is recommended that both the macro protection of the ecological environment and the micro improvement in the quality of residential environment should be paid attention to.
