The Effects of Urban Living Conditions on Subjective Well-Being: The Case of German Foreign Service Employees
In this study, we use a unique multi-source dataset that allows us to investigate the effect and relative importance of a variety of subjectively and objectively assessed aspects of urban living conditions on the subjective well-being (SWB) of German Foreign Service expatriates. The study captures living conditions in metropolises around the world at different stages of development, and assesses living conditions in a culturally comparably homogeneous set of participants, thus being potentially less confounded with cultural differences. Using linear regression and dominance analysis, we find that ‘quality of and access t...

Valuing the Wellbeing Associated with Psychosocial Factors at Work
AbstractPsychosocial factors are one of today ’s top challenges to occupational safety and health. Calculations of related societal costs generally focus on hard outcomes, such as productivity, but rarely include the value of individual utility reduction caused by psychosocial factors at work. We use the compensating-income-variation method t o estimate the monetary value necessary to compensate individuals experiencing sub-optimal psychosocial factors at work. The data used to examine the statistical relationship between income, psychosocial factors at work, and happiness is from an Icelandic health and well-being surve...

Across and Within- Individual Associations Between Everyday Activities and Quality of Life Relevant Measures, in Workers with Type 1 Diabetes
AbstractRelationships between activity engagement and health related quality of life (HRQOL) can differ based on the level of analyses. For instance, greater exercise on average may be linked with lower fatigue across individuals (between-person level), whereas the momentary experience of exercise may be associated with increased fatigue within an individual (within-person level). Disentangling the between- and within-person associations between everyday activities and HRQOL outcomes may provide insights for personalized lifestyle-oriented health promotion efforts for individuals with chronic conditions. The purpose of thi...

On Rule of Law, Civic Virtues, Trust, and Happiness
AbstractIn literature, there is a long and ongoing dispute over whether free market institutions encourage or discourage civic virtues. On the one hand, the so-called doux commerce thesis states that free market institutions have a favorable influence on civic virtues, such as honesty, respect for private property, and fair dealings. This idea goes back to, amongst others, Adam Smith who famously argued that where commerce is introduced, people are more faithful to their word. Smith also believed that civic virtues foster human happiness. The policy implication would be that free market institutions increase happiness by s...
