摘要

本文的目的是评估2006年至2018年39个非洲国家政府支出对幸福的影响。新古典主义观点预测了积极的影响，而公共选择理论预测了相反的影响。使用广义矩量法获得的结果表明，公共支出对非洲的幸福感没有直接影响。然而，公共支出对非洲最贫穷国家的幸福感产生了积极影响。此外，政府可以通过公共支出、民主制度和控制通货膨胀来提高非洲人民的幸福感。

Bigger or better? The effect of public spending on happiness in Africa

The aim of this paper is to assess the effect of government spending on happiness in 39 African countries from 2006 to 2018. The neoclassical view predicts a positive effect, while public choice theory predicts the opposite. The results obtained using the Generalized Method of Moment reveal that public spending has no direct effect on happiness in Africa. However, public spending positively affects happiness in the poorest countries of Africa. Furthermore, governments can improve the happiness of African populations through public spending coupled with democratic regimes and the control of inflation.
