“…However, many authors argue (Easterlin 1974(Easterlin , 1995(Easterlin , 2001Caporale et al 2009;Mentzakis and Moro 2009;Blanchflower and Oswald 2004;Myers 2000;Di Tella and MacCulloch 2006;Diener et al 1995;Layard et al 2012) that increase in income yields a lower increase in happiness at higher income levels. Easterlin (1974) was one of the first to note that increase in GDP per capita in the USA since the 1950s had not been accompanied by an increase in happiness.…”

We exploit the cross-country differences in economic freedom to examine the link between the quality of institutions and subjective well-being. Using Veenhoven's happiness dataset, the evidence suggests countries with better economic institutions and higher level of economic freedom, captured by the security of property rights, open markets and more limited government, are significantly more likely to experience greater subjective well-being after controlling for structural confounders of national subjective well-being such as income, unemployment, inequality, social capital and life satisfaction. The effect of institutions on cross-national happiness is both significant and robust to different model specifications, estimation techniques and possible sources of endogeneity. Furthermore, our panel data analysis reveals that over time higher levels of economic freedom are associated with decreasing subjective well-being after controlling for state dependence and income.

“…Estas informações são bastante conhecidas e já foram apresentadas em diversos outros trabalhos fazendo comparações internacionais sobre o grau de "bem-estar subjetivo" no mundo (Diener, 2009;Diener, Diener e Diener, 1995;Diener e Suh, 2000;Graham, 2011;Graham e Pettinato, 2002;Helliwell, Layard e Sachs, 2012;Inglehart, 1990;Kahneman, Diener e Schwarz, 1999;Deaton, 2013).

INTRODUÇÃOH á uma interpretação corrente e bastante popular de que o Brasil é o país do futebol e do carnaval, expressões da alegria, descontração e felicidade que caracterizam seu povo. Apesar das diversas dificuldades econômicas e sociais que marcam a história do país, a população teria algo que a diferenciaria de outras: a simpatia e a alegria. Características que facilitariam a sociabilidade e que estariam sempre presentes, a despeito das violências e injustiças. O povo brasileiro ser essencialmente feliz é uma ideologia comum. Outra ideia comum é a que estabelece uma relação positiva entre o aumento da renda dos indivíduos e o aumento da felicidade ou, de forma mais geral, entre condições materiais e sentimentos. Crescimento econômico seria equivalente a aumento da satisfação com a vida. Assim, a melhora recente das condições de vida no país teria contribuído para aumentar ainda mais o grau de alegria dos brasileiros 1 .Estudos anteriores sobre felicidade no Brasil mostram uma correlação fraca, mas positiva, entre renda e bem-estar percebido (Cavalcanti, Guimarães e Nogueira, 2009;Corbi e Menezes-Filho, 2006;Islam, Wills-Herrera e Hamilton, 2009;Luz et al., 2011;Mendes-da-Silva et al., 2013). Estes estudos, no entanto, não fazem análises incluindo os assim chamados "bens relacionais", que dependem essencialmente de relações interpessoais como amizade, família, comunidade etc. De acordo http://dx

One widely used version in marketing and psychology research was compiled by [16] with the mean standardized value of four surveys.

Abstract-Does technology adoption make user happier? Answers to this question are important to user well-being, but existing literature does not provide useful guidelines and conclusions in response. This study aims to fill the knowledge gap by investigating the drivers of user happiness. The study was conducted in a context of mobile-internet adoption by Hong Kong consumers. Quantitative data were collected with a survey method in 2013. Data were analyzed with multiple regression models. The findings indicate that usage variety, task type and satisfaction significantly influence user happiness.
