Surely everyone wants to know the source of happiness, and indeed,
economists and social scientists are increasingly interested in the
study and effects of subjective well-being. Putting forward a
rigorous method and new data for measuring, comparing, and
analyzing the relationship between well-being and the way people
spend their time--across countries, demographic groups, and
history--this book will help set the agenda of research and policy
for decades to come. It does so by introducing a system of National
Time Accounting (NTA), which relies on individuals' own evaluations
of their emotional experiences during various uses of time, a
distinct departure from subjective measures such as life
satisfaction and objective measures such as the Gross Domestic
Product. A distinguished group of contributors here summarize the
NTA method, provide illustrative findings about well-being based on
NTA, and subject the approach to a rigorous conceptual and
methodological critique that advances the field. As subjective
well-being is topical in economics, psychology, and other social
sciences, this book should have cross-disciplinary appeal.
