El presente trabajo analiza la relación entre el bienestar subjetivo y económico, considerando un factor objetivo como el ingreso y subjetivos como la percepción de la pobreza y las aspiraciones económicas. El análisis se efectúa para el caso ecuatoriano entre 2013 y 2014, mediante el uso de información de datos de panel. Al mitigar en el mayor grado posible el sesgo por variables omitidas mediante la inclusión de efectos fijos y otras características variantes en el tiempo, se encontró que el bienestar subjetivo financiero y global no se relacionan de igual forma con los factores analizados. En el primer caso son importantes factores como el ingreso y la percepción absoluta de la pobreza; mientras que en el segundo son importantes las dimensiones de comparabilidad social y aspiraciones económicas. El ingreso no muestra una relación con el bienestar global, al contrario de lo que suele hallarse en estudios que emplean datos de corte transversal.Palabras clave: Bienestar subjetivo, percepción de pobreza, aspiraciones económicas.

AbstractThis paper analyzes the relationship between subjective and economic wellbeing, considering an objective factor such as income and subjective factors such as the perception of poverty and economic aspirations. The analysis is performed with panel data from Ecuador for 2013 and 2014. By mitigating as much as possible the omitted variable bias, through the inclusion of fixed effects and other characteristics that change over time, it was found that financial and global wellbeing are not related in the same way to the factors analyzed: income and absolute perception of poverty are important in the first case, while social comparability and economic aspirations are important in the second one. Income does not have a relationship with global well-being, contrary to what is usually found in studies that use cross-sectional data.
