Happiness is an eternal pursuit of human beings and the ultimate purpose of all people's behaviors is to realize their own wishes and meet their own needs and improve their life satisfaction and obtain happiness.With the continuous and stable growth of China's economy and the continuous improvement of the living standard of residents,the pursuit of happiness is more enthusiastic,and the factors affecting happiness are more diverse.The study on the index system of factors affecting happiness become an important research topic.This paper uses the survey data of Chinese General Social Survey in 2015(CGSS2015),on the basis of summarized the existing research,first of all,this paper first constructs a system of happiness influencing factors about people which contain 7 modules such as personal characteristics,economic conditions and so on and 23 factors.In order to guarantee the objectivity of variable selection,minimize the error of regression as much as possible,this paper uses Elastic net method to select variables that may have a significant impact on residents' happiness from the initial system of happiness influencing factors.On the basis of effective statistical inference and numerical simulation of Semi-parametric dynamic local linear Probit model through Profile Maximum Likehood method,this paper build Semi-parametric dynamic local linear Probit model to estimate the coefficients and test the significance and study the influencing factors of residents' happiness and then the regression results of Order Probit model were compared and analyzed.The results show that variables are screened out in each dimension of all the 7 modules based on the Elastic Net method.And according to the regression results of the Semi-parametric dynamic local linear Probit model,variables in all 7 modules have a significant impact on people's happiness.These are marital status and number of children in personal characteristics module,household income and household car in module of economy,physical health and psychological health in module of health,is the current income reasonable in employment module,cultural activities in cultural life module,fairness and social class in social attitude and class identity module,and satisfaction of social security in government job satisfaction module.Especially,the empirical analysis results of the Semi-parametric dynamic local linear Probit model show that household income and happiness general inverted u-shaped relationship,and there are big fluctuations.And household income has a significant positive effect on happiness based on the analysis results of Order Probit model.Based on the above research results,this paper proposes policy suggestions for residents,government departments,medical departments and other relevant departments,in order to improve residents' happiness.
