    Abstract:

    The study uses the happiness data from the China General Social Survey to analyze the relationship between environmental pollution and subjective happiness.Findings reveal that the rise of the concentration of NO2 and the increase of the amount of waste water will decrease the subjective happiness significantly.The result of heterogeneity analysis shows that air pollution for urban and rural residents did not show significant differences,but there is significant negative impact on Eastern residents and Central residents.The effect of water pollution on happiness is a greater negative among residents who lived in the city or in the east of China.The result also suggests that the effect of environmental pollution on happiness is more significant among residents with lower perception of pollution.These improvements are valued at about 3 239.30 yuan for one microgram per cubic meter in the case of NO2 and about 2 347.37 yuan for 100 million tons in the case of waste water.
