Stayin' Alive
Unemployment is known to be one of the most negative determinants of subjective well-being. Nonetheless, more evidence is needed to understand how the relationship between individual unemployment and cognitive well-being unfolds during divergent macroeconomic contexts as well as the moderating role of social origin. Furthermore, more panel evidence is needed to account for unobserved fixed heterogeneity. This article addresses these gaps by explo…
Females Welcome! When immigrants make the native population happy
Despite the growing interest in migration studies, research examining the impact of immigration on the subjective well-being of local populations remains surprisingly limited, often yielding inconclusive and contradictory findings. Notably, the influence of the gender composition of immigrant populations has been overlooked in the literature. This study addresses this gap by employing the social production function framework to assess how gender-…
Subjective School Experience and Well-Being during the Covid-19 Pandemic
School life is an important determinant of adolescents’ subjective well-being. While there is now an extensive literature on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescents’ well-being, adolescents’ school experience during the pandemic and how it relates to different dimensions of their subjective well-being has received little attention. This study addresses this gap by examining the relationship between young people’s school experience and …
The Impact of Eco-Anxiety and Extreme Weather Proximity on Young People’s Happiness and Life Satisfaction
This article investigates how eco-anxiety relates to subjective well-being among young people in Luxembourg, and whether this relationship is modified by proximity to extreme weather events. Luxembourg, with one of the highest GDPs in the world, represents a noteworthy case of a nation that also consistently ranks among the happiest. Yet it experienced a severe flooding in the summer of 2021. Using data from a natural experiment, we find that eco…
How perceptions of labor market opportunities predict happiness
The results reveal that in Barcelona only positive perceptions have an effect and increase happiness, whereas in Pennsylvania only negative perceptions impact happiness and do so detrimentally. This discrepancy is attributed to subtle, experimentally induced ships in the framing of truthful macroeconomic information. The discussion proposes a cultural bias mechanism to account for these differences. Heterogeneous effects of the treatments in term…
How Locus of Control Predicts Subjective Well-Being and its Inequality
Previous research has established the central role of an individuals’ locus of control (LoC) in influencing subjective well-being. However, earlier studies have predominantly omitted an exploration of potential moderating factors at the country-level and have rarely delved into the influence of LoC on an important yet often-overlooked dimension of well-being—namely, subjective well-being inequality. Addressing these gaps, this study examines the …

Youths' Perceived Coping with the Covid-19 Pandemic and Subjective Well-Being
No Voice, No Choice
Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) are the subject of ongoing interest, which has included the framing of ALMPs as the re-commodification of labour. It has also been argued that Sen's Capability Approach (CA) offers the potential to reconsider ALMPs from a more progressive viewpoint - so, is this the case and to what extent is, or can, the CA be a helpful research and analytical tool with which to study ALMPs? These questions are addressed thr…
