Offering a thorough assessment of recent developments in the
economic literature on happiness and quality of life, this major
research handbook astutely considers both methods of estimation and
policy application. Luigino Bruni and Pier Luigi Porta's
refreshing, and constructively critical, approach emphasizes the
subject's integral impact on latter-day capitalism.Expert
contributors critically present in-depth research on a wide range
of topics including: - the history of the idea of quality of life
and the impact of globalization - links between happiness and
health - comparisons between hedonic and eudaimonic well-being -
the relational and emotional side of human life, including
subjective indicators of well-being - genetic and environmental
contributions to life satisfaction - the impact of culture, fine
arts and new media. Accessible and far-reaching, the Handbook of
Research Methods and Applications in Happiness and Quality of Life
will prove an invaluable resource for students and scholars of
welfare and economics as well as practicing psychologists and
researchers. Contributors: M. Bianchi, L. Bruni, L. Crivelli, S.
