摘　　要：基于中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)2012和2014两个年度构成的面板数据,使用倾向值匹配和双差分相结合(PSM-DID)的计量方法,本文严格评估了城市低保对受助对象主观福利水平的影响效应,并基于中介效应分析探讨了该效应的发生机制。研究发现:总体来看,获得城市低保有助于提升受助个体的主观福利水平。但是,获得城市低保却会显著降低受助个体的主观社会地位和未来信心程度。在城市低保影响受助个体主观福利的机制中,主观社会地位和未来信心程度是两个重要的中介变量,获得低保会通过降低主观社会地位和未来信心程度,而削弱城市低保的主观福利效应。在未来政策优化中,消除福利耻感和提高保障水平是进一步加强城市低保主观福利效应的重要举措。Using longitudinal survey data from the China Family Panel Studies in 2012 and 2014 and a combination of propensity score matching and difference-in-differences methods, this article rigorously evaluates the subjective well-being effect of the urban Dibao program and explores its possible infl uence mechanism based on mediation analysis. The study finds robust positive effects of urban Dibao participation on recipients＇ subjective well-being. However, urban Dibao participation tends to be associated with lower perceived social status and decreased confidence in the future. In the association between urban Dibao participation and recipients＇ subjective well-being, perceived social status and confidence in the future are two important mediators, through which urban Dibao participation has a negative effect on recipients＇ subjective well-being. These results suggest that measures to remove welfare stigma and increase assistance levels are needed to help the poor achieve greater subjective well-being.
