Abstract

Much is known about the relationship between economic growth and satisfaction, while little is known about the relationship between economic growth and dissatisfaction. This study measures the levels of public dissatisfaction in 36 Chinese cities from 2011 to 2018 using data from an official online petition platform. We construct panel data to analyze the impact of per capita GDP and per capita income on public dissatisfaction. The results show that per capita income has a significant negative effect on public dissatisfaction, but only once the per capita income exceeds a threshold amount. In the extended discussion, the nonlinear relationship between income and public dissatisfaction is described as a stair-shaped curve. The results imply the need for developing countries to adhere to economic policies based on income maximization.

经济增长能减少公众不满吗?来自中国城市面板阈值模型的证据
人们对经济增长和满意度之间的关系知之甚少,而对经济增长与不满之间的关系却知之甚少。这项研究使用官方在线请愿平台的数据测量了2011年至2018年中国36个城市的公众不满程度。我们构建面板数据来分析人均GDP和人均收入对公众不满的影响。结果表明,人均收入对公众不满有显著的负向影响,但只有当人均收入超过阈值时才会产生负向影响。在扩展讨论中,收入和公众不满之间的非线性关系被描述为阶梯形曲线。结果表明,发展中国家需要坚持以收入最大化为基础的经济政策。
