What Predicts a Successful Life? A Life-Course Model of Well-Being

Layard, Richard; Clark, Andrew E.; Cornaglia, Francesca; … - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013

If policy-makers care about well-being, they need a recursive model of how adult life-satisfaction is predicted by childhood influences, acting both directly and (indirectly) through adult circumstances. We estimate such a model using the British Cohort Study (1970). The most powerful childhood...

VALUING JOBS VIA RETIREMENT: EUROPEAN EVIDENCE

Clark, Andrew E.; Fawaz, Yarine - In: National Institute Economic Review 209 (2009) 1, pp. 88-103

While much has been made of the value of employment relative to unemployment, much less is known about the value of work relative to retirement. Here we use two European panel datasets to show first that psychological well-being (measured on the EURO-D and GHQ scales) barely changes on average...

Measuring well-being across Europe: Description of the ESS Well-being Module and preliminary findings

Hupper, Felicia A.; Marks, Nic; Clark, Andrew E.; … - HAL - 2008

It has become customary to judge the success of a society through the use of objective indicators, predominantly economic and social ones. Yet in most developed nations, increases in income, education and health have arguably not produced comparable increases in happiness or life satisfaction....

Boon or Bane? Others' unemployment, well-being and job insecurity

Clark, Andrew E.; Knabe, Andreas; Rätzel, Steffen - HAL - 2008

The social norm of unemployment suggests that aggregate unemployment reduces the well-being of the employed, but has a far smaller effect on the unemployed. We use German panel data to reproduce this standard result, but then suggest that the appropriate distinction may not be between employment...

The organisational commitment of workers in OECD countries

Clark, Andrew E. - HAL - 2011

The degree to which workers identify with their firms, and how hard they are willing to work for them, would seem to be key variables for the understanding of both firm productivity and individual labour-market outcomes. This paper uses repeated cross-section ISSP data from 1997 and 2005 to...

This article is concerned with a body of work on happiness and age represented by important papers such as Mroczek and Kolarz (1998) and Mroczek and Spiro (2005). Using a large British data set, the paper presents new longitudinal evidence. It also points out that, perhaps unknown to many...

Born to be mild? Cohort effects don't explain why well-being is U-shaped in age

Clark, Andrew E. - HAL - 2006

The statistical analysis of cross-section data very often reveals a U-shaped relationship between subjective well-being and age. This paper uses fourteen waves of British panel data to distinguish between a pure life-cycle or aging effect, and a fixed cohort effect that depends on year of birth....
