Income and preferences for the environment: evidence from subjective well-being data
Do people care more about the environment as their income increases? In this paper we use a measure of subjective well-being to directly analyze whether the impact of a number of environmental amenities on self-reported life satisfaction varies with income. We find little empirical support for the marginal effects of environmental amenities being larger for the richest. <br> <b>Keywords:</b> environmental preferences, environmental amenities, subjective well-being, life satisfaction
