productivity. Our aim is to test the hypothesis that subjective well-being contributes to productivity using a two step approach …: first, we establish whether subjective well-being can be a candidate variable to study Total Factor Productivity; second, we … assess how much subjective well-being contributes to productivity at aggregate level through efficiency gains.

We investigate whether Italian regions have converged in terms of output per worker because of physical capital accumulation, human capital accumulation or thanks to technological catch-up. In order to identify channels of convergence we adopt the methodology recently proposed by Wong (2007) and...
