This important and long-awaited book presents a new and unified approach to the analysis of subjective satisfaction and income evaluation. Drawing on empirical analyses of German, British, Dutch, and Russian data, it develops new methodology to establish a model of well-being which includes satisfaction with life as a whole and with various domains of life. This method is applied to study individual and collective norms, to construct family-equivalence scales, to estimate health damages, compensation for externalities, and the construction of tax tariffs, and to define subjective inequalities with respect to well-being, income, and other domains of life. Written for a wide readership of social scientists, the book presents a theoretical and empirical breakthrough into a new and fruitful methodology in the social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46887656915095,"sku":"9780199226146","price":5551.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199226146.webp?v=1770256821","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/happiness-quantified-a-satisfaction-calculus-approach-9780199226146","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
