论文题目：Negative Human Capital Externalities in Wellbeing: Evidence from Chinese Cities

报告人：钱海峰（美国爱荷华大学城市与区域规划学院和公共政策中心副教授）

论文摘要：This paper examines the impact of the concentration of human capital on individual happiness in Chinese cities. We find negative human capital externalities in the wellbeing of Chinese city residents. Further, wage, public service, firm agglomeration, environmental quality, and housing price are among the mechanisms connecting human capital to individual happiness. Human capital becomes a stronger negative predictor of individual happiness after these mediating effects are controlled for, likely as a result of peer pressure from social comparison. Additionally, the impact of city-level human capital externalities on individual happiness depends on individual factors such as gender, education, age, and income.
