摘　　要：作为一种人力资本,美貌会对个体的生活产生影响。本文通过中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)数据,在控制访员固定效应的基础上,研究了相貌对个体生活满意度的影响。结果表明,相貌会对个体对生活满意度的评价产生显著的正向影响。分样本回归发现,(1)女性的相貌对生活满意度会产生显著影响;(2)接受过高等教育的人群,相貌会显著影响其生活满意度;(3)非农业工作从业者的相貌与生活满意度显著正相关。将其他家庭成员的平均相貌水平作为工具变量纳入回归,结果依然稳健。文章最后对相貌影响生活满意度的机制进行了探讨。As a human capital, beauty can affect many aspects of individual life. Based on the data of China Family Tracking Survey(CFPS), this paper studies the effect of appearance on individual life satisfaction on the basis of controlling the fixed effect of interviewers. The results show that appearance has a significant positive impact on the individual’s evaluation of life satisfaction. Sub-sample regression found that:(1) women’s appearance has a significant impact on life satisfaction;(2) for people with higher education, appearance also has a significant impact on their life satisfaction;(3) non-agricultural workers’ appearance and life satisfaction are significantly positively correlated. The average appearance level of other family members was taken as a tool variable to be included in the regression, and the results are still robust. Finally, the mechanism of facial appearance affecting life satisfaction is discussed.
