Happiness Group

This group is examining the determinants of well-being in an European context and, in particular, examining whether institutional features moderate the link between individual economic circumstances and individual well-being.

In particular the group is examining the link between income, unemployment and well-being and how it differs across certain EU countries

Additional Information

The European Social Survey is below. Look at the 2004/2005 questionnaire. This has abundant information on well-being for 22 countries and the data is fully available.
