How do we measure happiness? Focusing on subjective measures as a
proxy for welfare and well-being, this book finds ways to do that.
Subjective measures have been used by psychologists, sociologists,
political scientists, and, more recently, economists to answer a
variety of scientifically and politically relevant questions. Van
Praag, a pioneer in this field since 1971, and Ferrer-i-Carbonell
present in this book a generally applicable methodology for the
analysis of subjective satisfaction. Drawing on a range of surveys
on people's satisfaction with their jobs, income, housing,
marriages, and government policy, among other areas of life, this
book shows how satisfaction with life "as a whole" is an aggregate
of these domain satisfactions. Using German, British, Dutch, and
Russian data, the authors cover a wide range of topics. This
groundbreaking book presents a new and fruitful methodology that
constitutes a welcome addition to the social sciences. The
paperback edition has been revised to bring the literature review
up-to-date and the chapter on poverty has been revised and extended
to take account of new research.
