本課程討論傳統經濟學的效用理論在解釋物資消費，工作(休閒)選擇和跨時選擇方面的缺失；之後，從心理學、神經科及相關的研究介紹幸福學。最終介紹結合經濟學和幸福學的幸福(或快樂)經濟學。

This course discusses the lack of utility theory of traditional economy in explaining material consumption, work (leisure) selection and cross-time selection; then, happiness studies are introduced from psychology, neurology and related research. Finally, we introduce the happiness (or happiness) economics that combine economics and happiness.

幸福學(或快樂學)是一門新興的跨領域學科。主要研究人們在何種情境之下才會有幸福感或快樂感。傳統經濟學認定的是物質享受的快樂，而心理學則重視人的內在的感受，神經科學夾其腦科學的進展，已經可客觀驗證人的快樂程度(快樂程度的數量化)，同時，非主流經濟學也進展到加入各種制度因素(公平感，比較壓力等)來判斷社會的快樂程度。這門課旨在綜合介紹上述各學科的觀點。

Happiness (or Happiness) is a new cross-domain subject. It mainly studies the situation in which people will feel happy or happy. Traditional economics recognizes the happiness of material enjoyment, while psychology emphasizes people's inner feelings. Neuroscience combines the progress of brain science and can view the happiness level of people (quantitative happiness level). At the same time, non-mainstream economics has also developed to joining various institutional factors (sense of fairness, comparative pressure, etc.) to judge the happiness level of society. This course aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the views of the above subjects.
