Abstract Based on the data of CGSS2010, this paper usesGeneralized Linear Latent and Mixed Models (GLLAMMs) to conduct empirical studyto analyze the relationships among fiscal decentralization, income gap and citizen happiness. It is found thatfiscal decentralization has different impact on citizen happiness on urban-rural and regional level. And there exits an “inverted-U shape” association between urban-rural income gap and citizen happiness, but a negative association on regional level.
