摘要

Using panel data from Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS), this paper verifies that the variance of subject well being in different regions of China is high up to 23 percent. Further exploring indicate that the variance can not be explained by the offset effects of wage, rent and the expectation of higher social class, based on the spatial equilibrium theory framework. The reason of inter-region subject well being variance is up to be found.
