Labour Econ. 2013 Oct 01;24:253-263. doi: 10.1016/j.labeco.2013.09.008.

Using a unique longitudinal data of British youths we estimate how adolescents' overall happiness is related to parents' exposure to unemployment. Our within-child estimates suggest that parental job loss when the child was relatively young has a positive influence...

J Econ Psychol. 2014 Dec;45:84-101. doi: 10.1016/j.joep.2014.08.003.

This paper investigates whether people's psychological resilience to one of the most important economic shocks - job loss - can be predicted using early childhood characteristics. Using a longitudinal data that tracked almost 3000 children into adulthood, we showed...

Does retirement lead to an existential crisis or present an opportunity to experience a renewed sense of purpose in life? Prior research has documented a negative association between retirement and sense of purpose in life, suggesting that retirement could...

WHAT PREDICTS A SUCCESSFUL LIFE? A LIFE-COURSE MODEL OF WELL-BEING.

Economic journal (London, England)

Layard R, Clark AE, Cornaglia F, Powdthavee N, Vernoit J.
PMID: 25422527
Econ J (London). 2014 Nov;124(580):F720-F738. doi: 10.1111/ecoj.12170.

Policy-makers who care about well-being 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). We show...

LONGITUDINAL EVIDENCE FOR A MIDLIFE NADIR IN HUMAN WELL-BEING: RESULTS FROM FOUR DATA SETS.

Economic journal (London, England)

Cheng TC, Powdthavee N, Oswald AJ.

Econ J (London). 2017 Feb;127(599):126-142. doi: 10.1111/ecoj.12256. Epub 2015 Oct 15.

There is a large amount of cross-sectional evidence for a midlife low in the life cycle of human happiness and well-being (a 'U shape'). Yet no genuinely longitudinal inquiry has uncovered evidence for a U-shaped pattern. Thus, some researchers...

LOCUS OF CONTROL AND ITS INTERGENERATIONAL IMPLICATIONS FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD SKILL FORMATION.

Economic journal (London, England)

Lekfuangfu WN, Powdthavee N, Warrinnier N, Cornaglia F.
PMID: 29651168
Econ J (London). 2018 Feb;128(608):298-329. doi: 10.1111/ecoj.12414. Epub 2017 Apr 27.

This article builds upon Cunha's (2015) subjective rationality model in which parents have a subjective belief about the impact of their investment on their children's early skill formation. We propose that this subjective belief is determined partly by locus...

We exploit lottery wins to investigate the effects of exogenous changes to individuals' income on the utilization of health care services, and the choice between private and public health care in the United Kingdom. Our empirical strategy focuses on...

Life satisfaction and sexual minorities: Evidence from Australia and the United Kingdom.

Journal of economic behavior & organization

Powdthavee N, Wooden M.

Very little is known about how the differential treatment of sexual minorities could influence subjective reports of overall well-being. This paper seeks to fill this gap. Data from two large surveys that provide nationally representative samples for two different...

What's the good of education on our overall quality of life? A simultaneous equation model of education and life satisfaction for Australia.

Journal of behavioral and experimental economics

Many economists and educators favour public support for education on the premise that education improves the overall quality of life of citizens. However, little is known about the different pathways through which education shapes people's satisfaction with life overall....

Are happier people less judgmental of other people's selfish behaviors? Experimental survey evidence from trust and gift exchange games.

PMID: 28729964
J Behav Exp Econ. 2015 Oct;58:111-123. doi: 10.1016/j.socec.2015.07.007. Epub 2015 Aug 17.

What determines people's moral judgments of selfish behaviors? Here we study whether people's normative views in trust and gift exchange games, which underlie many situations of economic and social significance, are themselves functions of positive emotions. We use experimental...
