4月29日 My New Photo Album4月23日 Use of Happiness Data in Economics------Rafael Di Tella (Harvard Business School), Robert MacCulloch(ICL), JEP, Winter 2006
Economists are trained to infer preferences from observed choices; that is, economists typically watch what people do(观其行), rather than listening to what people say（听其言）. Happiness research departs from this tradition. Instead, happiness researchers have been particularly interested in self-reports of well-being, which may be as simple as an answer to a question with the general form: “Are you very happy, pretty happy, or not too happy?”
Happiness data are being used to tackle important questions in economics. Part of this approach is quite natural, as many questions in economics are fundamentally about happiness. But the approach departs from a long tradition in economics that shies away from using what people say about their feelings. Instead, economists have built their trade by analyzing what people do and, from these observations and some theoretical assumptions about the structure of welfare, deducing the implied changes in happiness. Economists who believe that welfare can be measured to some extent by happiness surveys have an easier time. They simply compare measures of welfare, and what causes changes in welfare, under different scenarios. Of course, results based on happiness surveys should be treated critically and cautiously. But the two main alternatives for determining social welfare—either trying to back social welfare out of observed behavior or simply giving up and leaving it to the politicians— surely need to be treated critically and cautiously, too. The patterns observed in the empirical measures of welfare and happiness deserve to play at least some role in the evaluation of what social goals to emphasize, what macroeconomic tradeoffs are acceptable and what public policies are pursued. 4月22日 Being Happy Is Beneficial----From Ed Diener, Smiley Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of Illinois. Rome, Italy. April 2 -3, 2007 Why Flaubert Is Wrong? Gustave Flaubert says: To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost. But evidences suggest:
Happy college students later earn higher incomes
Happy peoples have:
• • Better and longer marriages • • Social capital: Trust and volunteering • • Higher supervisor ratings at work • • Organizational citizenship behaviors • • Health Happy nuns(尼姑，修女) live longer than less happy ones living in same life circumstances through lifespan. My Maybe not causal effect, but being happy is good, isn't it? 4月21日 油麻地昨晚去油麻地，先吃了一家大排档，chengzi和潮州蚝饼。chengzi做法不太喜欢，蚝饼还可以。跟蚝仔烙不太一样，前者是淀粉和油多一点，“浮”一点，油炸过的，跟家乡小时候常吃的虾饼有点像，不过没有啥酸甜的酱料可以沾（或者只是我没看到）；后者蛋多一点，油少一点，薄一点，健康一点。
吃完匆匆走掉，看完电影才想起似乎忘了给钱。于是小逛了一会儿庙街之后，回去还钱。店主竟然还热情打招呼，以为是新客人，晕。解释一下才搞明白。估计是生意太好，脑损伤过头了？跟我一样脑损伤，愚笨回去还钱。
电影是<爱在遥远的附近>，外国片，主要场景是中国西部山区小镇，有山有水有水车马车轿子吊脚楼(？),风景棒极了，有美女有帅哥，有活人也有很多死人，最好帅哥也死了。很好看，发掘人性的很好的一个故事。讲：爱情，外遇，报复，无情，瘟疫，死亡，恐惧，歧视与对立，文化沟通，selfawareness,发掘自己，probelm soving & innovation, 敬业，博爱，人际交流，发现美与共同点，宽容。。。 4月19日 集资玩了一小把集资。功德榜：Jocelyn, xiaob, daiy,lili,zhang,and hj. 多谢其它人offering。
下午跑了中银，汇丰，花旗，最后在中银弄。数“纸”的还是周一那个mm。没有statement，只有“簿仔”，弄个letter（明天去拿），100港刀（花旗要200，另外statement是每月7号；汇丰不给letter，statement说要一个月后）。回来再仔细看，letter也可以满足要求。不过中银的usd account在usa直接取不到钱，得用汇票转啊啥的；不管，先弄了visa再说。反正中银没有最低存款要求，到时候把它转到花旗都ok。 4月15日 深圳行今天去了深圳，在书城附近扛了几包“纸"回来，第一次扛这么多“纸”。确切地说，是我以前扛过的最高额的十倍吧。顺利。
在旁边的“华清池”（这名字起的。。。）按了脚，按了头，松了腿，呵，按大腿还是蛮有些疼的，都是第一次，都是等老刘的时候打发时间的。蛮正规的。好像按完也没感觉啥特别的效果，不过脚底是不酸了。看电视，喝了n杯水，剪了个免费的头（一般般，也没到真正需要剪头的时间，不过免费就修一修，当然花了小费。。似乎意味着未来一个月都可以不用去深圳了呵，短发又变好短了），吃了顿免费的简单自助餐，喝了两碗白粥，还蛮好吃的。不过得有讨厌的小费给各位师傅，不能享受社会主义国家的待遇，嗯哪，于是总共就花掉了120多。一个领班态度很好，笑容不错，只是声音还不够细不够好听，端茶送水弄耳机，换靠脚的毛斤都很积极，有点接近空姐的意思。气质还可以；气质再好点，“文化”高点，估计就可以当空姐了。。。空姐也没啥，说不定可以做更高的。嗯，职业培训很重要哦，可以给多很多提升自身的机会，就远不只是一个小领班了。据说是湖南株洲的。好地方啊，想起我上次抽的新股株洲南车，可惜卖早了，要不。。。事后诸葛。。。
下次去中医师按摩，据说不错，套票好像蛮划算。据说在罗湖有车接送哦。。。
完了还是去好又多小采购。简单舒适的生活，喜欢。
今天没时间去医院弄那个免疫体检等杂事。麻烦嗯，不如在hk的校医院弄就好了，省事省心，贵一点而已。
洗澡，泡脚。嗯，要善待身体。 4月13日 New Life中午去金钟办入台证，很顺利，因为去年去过，所以不用再interview，一会就完了。然后打电话给麦先生，他竟然还记得我，不错，nice财神爷。
称重，发现最近竟然瘦了好几斤，不知咋搞的，掉到120以下了。我自己最满意的重量是125斤哈，加油。
收拾office的桌子。打扫心情，好好学习研究，近期特别好好改毕业论文。
开始看看美国那边的宿舍，要申请罗。第一年还是住在学校里吧。看了地图，肯尼迪学院似乎在河边，跟商学院斜对着。
4月7日 海南归来晚上海口到深圳22：50的飞机，晚点半个小时左右，12：25到深圳机场，从皇岗口岸出，打的到中大，2:30到。还好，4个人150块钱。
短暂紧促而和睦愉快的一次出游。
有梦就有牵挂。发现美。
4月3日 卖身正式卖身了，Public Polciy PhD@Kennedy School of Government, Harvard. 定了下来，路才好走。
有学校买我了，不过还没有mm买我。大胆向前不回头
 去海南玩几天。就去这么近的地方，云南或者九寨沟最后都没去。下次再去。。。 |
