摘要

在控制收入水平后，我们在跨国面板数据中发现幸福感与宗教信仰之间呈u型关系。在一定的收入水平下，宗教虔诚程度高低都能达到同样的幸福水平，但中等水平的人却无法达到同样的幸福水平。收入的增加导致幸福感的增加，同时宗教信仰的减少。我们对实证结果的解释是，宗教信仰与效用函数中其他商品的无差异曲线呈驼峰状。

Religiosity as a Determinant of Happiness

We find a U-shaped relation between happiness and religiosity in cross-country panel data after controlling for income levels. At a given level of income, the same level of happiness can be reached with high and low levels of religiosity, but not with intermediate levels. A rise in income causes an increase in happiness along with a decline of religiosity. Our interpretation of the empirical results is that the indifference curves for religiosity and other commodities of the utility function are hump-shaped.
