THE WELL‐BEING OF NATIONS: ESTIMATING WELFARE FROM INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION
提出用国际移民流动数据估计各国整体生活质量的新方法，基于显示偏好，补充了仅考虑收入或少数因素的福利衡量。
Abstract The limitations of GDP as a measure of welfare are well known. We propose a new method of estimating the well‐being of nations. Using gross bilateral international migration flows and a discrete choice model in which everyone in the world chooses a country in which to live, we estimate each country's overall quality of life. Our estimates, by relying on revealed preference, complement previous estimates of well‐being that consider only income or a small number of factors, or rely on structural assumptions about how these factors contribute to well‐being.
