摘　　要：伊斯特林、莱亚德和奥斯瓦尔德是幸福经济学领域极具影响力的经济学家。其中,伊斯特林是幸福经济学的开创者,最早发现并提出“幸福—收入之谜”这一重要的经济学命题。莱亚德侧重于研究心理健康对个体幸福感的影响,认为心理健康是衡量幸福感最有效的指标之一,能较好地解释一国国民生活满意度的差异。奥斯瓦尔德重点关注生命周期与幸福之间的联系,并对影响幸福的各个因素进行了精准的实证检验,是幸福适应性理论的重要开拓者之一。三位学者的研究极大地推动了幸福经济学的发展,被科睿唯安公司授予2022年度经济学领域的“引文桂冠奖”。Easterlin, Layard and Oswald are highly influential economists in the field of happiness economics. Among them, Easterlin is the pioneer of happiness economics, and the first person to propose the “happiness income puzzle”. Layard, who focuses on the impact of mental health on individual happiness, believes that mental health is the most effective measure of happiness and can successfully explain the differences in life satisfaction of people within countries. Oswald, who focuses on the relationship between life cycle and happiness, conducts careful empirical tests on various factors that affect happiness. He is also one of the important pioneers of happiness adaptation theory. The work of these three scholars has greatly promoted the development of happiness economics and they were awarded the “Clarivate Citation Laureate” in the field of economics in 2022, and are predicted to win the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in the future. This paper reviews the outstanding contributions of these three scholars in the field of happiness economics.
