Given this, it is argued that affects can, in turn, have an impact on that person's general assessment of his or her life. In…

Using data for the EU-15 countries for 1999 and 2005, we show how three-way analysis can be used to extract synthetic information from a large data set to determine the main…

Therefore, we suggest that data on the individual level should only be used to…

Becchetti, Leonardo; Ricca, Elena Giachin; Pelloni, Alessandra – Social Indicators Research, 2013
Empirical analyses of the determinants of life satisfaction routinely include the number of children as one of the socio demographic controls, without explicitly considering that, for a given household income, more children imply a lower level of income per family member. The variable "number of children" then often attracts a negative…
