We study the effect of the Brexit referendum result on subjective well‐being in the United Kingdom. Using a quasi‐experimental design, we find that the referendum’s outcome led to an overall decrease in subjective well‐being in the United Kingdom compared to a control group. The effect is driven by individuals who hold an overall positive image of the European Union and shows little signs of adaptation during the Brexit transition period. Economic expectations are potential mechanisms of this effect.

英国脱欧公投结果对主观幸福感的影响*

我们研究了英国脱欧公投结果对主观幸福感的影响。使用准实验设计，我们发现，与对照组相比，全民投票的结果导致了英国主观幸福感的总体下降。这种影响是由个人持有的，他们对欧盟总体上持积极态度，并且在英国退欧过渡期间几乎没有适应的迹象。经济预期是这种影响的潜在机制。
