“…We use two distinct geographic areas-ZIP code and Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)-to explore whether our explanatory channels vary with reference-group proximity. 2 1 Recent research finds that while SWB cannot be considered a proxy for utility, insofar as people do not exclusively make choices to maximize it, it can be considered a "uniquely important argument of the utility function" (Benjamin et al, 2012) (see also Angner (2010) and Benjamin et al (2014)). The outcome variable in our theoretical framework is utility, and we use SWB as a proxy for it in the empirical analysis, recognizing its shortcomings as such.…”

Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be available directly from the author. We develop a theoretical framework that integrates four distinct channels through which others' income can affect utility: public goods, cost of living, expectations of future income, and direct effects (relative income hypothesis and/or altruism). We empirically estimate the relationship with U.S. well-being and health data from Gallup and geographically-based median-income data for ZIP codes and MSAs. The relationship is proximity-dependent: positive (negative) with ZIP-code (MSA) median income as reference income, suggesting that positive (negative) channels dominate locally (regionally) and reconciling seemingly divergent results from the literature. Additional analyses provide evidence of the importance of the public-goods and cost-of-living channels.JEL Classification: D6, D31, I31

“…La literatura sostiene que los países que presentan mayores niveles de bienestar subjetivo en sus poblaciones corresponden a aquellos que rescatan culturas más igualitarias, que enfatizan la autonomía individual, los valores post-materiales y el individualismo expresivo, caracterizándose por rasgos políticos más cercanos a la democracia y la tolerancia 1,[5][6][7] . En cuanto concepto, el bienestar subjetivo se refiere a las evaluaciones -tanto positivas como negativas-que las personas efectúan sobre su vida 8,9 . En este marco, es posible distinguir dos principales componentes 10 : el primero corresponde al eudaimonismo, que refiere a la autorrealización de los individuos.…”

“…Although differences exist among scholars regarding a precise definition of QoL, as it is a multifaceted construct that involves a variety of issues, indicators, and measures (Angner, 2010;Kruger et al, 2013), a growing consensus associates QoL with an individual's subjective evaluation of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with his/her life (Liburd and Derkzen, 2009;Kruger et al, 2013;Dolnicar et al, 2012). The term is often used interchangeably with subjective measures for well-being, life satisfaction, and happiness (Liburd and Derkzen, 2009;Kruger et al, 2013).…”

“…It is a departure from the hedonic understanding of well-being that emphasizes feelings of pleasure or happiness (Ballantyne et al, 2014). Eudaimonic understanding emphasizes satisfaction originating with personal preferences to achieve QoL, suggesting that individuals experience a sense of well-being when their subjective preferences are satisfied or their desires are fulfilled (Scanlon, 1993;Angner, 2010). Accordingly, a person's QoL depends not only on the changes in that person's states of consciousness but also on the extent to which that person's preferences are satisfied or not (Scanlon, 1993, p. 186).…”

A B S T R A C TGiven the economic, social, and cultural benefits that successful festivals generate, researchers have made substantial academic effort to understand the predictors and consequences of festival satisfaction. Although existing literature has focused on festival context to understand them, this study proposes that the cultural capital of visitors predicts the music festival satisfaction and the satisfied festival experience results in higher quality of life (QoL). The integrative framework suggests that music festival satisfaction mediates the relationship between visitors' cultural capital and their QoL. Based on a survey at the Great Mountains Music Festival in Korea, this study confirmed data validity and tested hypotheses by adopting structural equation modeling. The research result shows that visitors' cultural capital has a positive effect on music program satisfaction and the satisfactory festival experiences significantly enhance their QoL. Focusing on the influence of personal values and preferences on festival experiences and consequences, this study highlights the significance of cultural capital of visitors and presents implications for festival organizers.
