32. Environment and Happiness: New Evidence for Spain

Author

Cunado, Juncal and Perez de Gracia, Fernando

Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between air pollution, climate and reported subjective well-being (or happiness) in Spanish regions. The results show that, after controlling for most of the socio-economic variables affecting happiness, there are still significant regional differences in subjective well-being. Evidence also suggests that climate and air pollution variables play a significant role in explaining these regional differences in happiness. The analysis also allows us to calculate the monetary value of air quality and climate, deriving the average marginal rate of substitution between income and air quality and climate for the Spanish regions.

34. Does Education Affect Happiness? Evidence for Spain

Author

Cunado, Juncal and de Gracia, Fernando Perez

Abstract

In this paper we study the impact of education on happiness in Spain using individual-level data from the European Social Survey, by means of estimating Ordinal Logit Models. We find both direct and indirect effects of education on happiness. First, we find an indirect effect of education on happiness through income and labour status. That is, we find that people with a higher education level have higher income levels and a higher probability of being employed, and thus, report higher levels of happiness. Second, and after controlling by income, labour status and other socio-economic variables, we find that education has a positive (and direct) impact on happiness. We interpret this result as evidence of a "self-confidence" or "self-estimation" effect from acquiring knowledge. Finally, we find that the direct impact of education on happiness does not depend of the level of education (primary, secondary or tertiary).

Author

Subjects
Canary Islands -- Economic aspects, Economic forecasting -- Research, Travel industry -- Forecasts and trends, Seasonal variations (Economics) -- Analysis, Market trend/market analysis, Business, Economics, Government, Mathematics
Abstract

Seasonal statistics models, such as seasonally fractionally integrated models, are used to examine the tourism in the Canary Islands with the consideration of deterministic and stochastic seasonality. Better results are shown to be gathered through the simple deterministic model. The results of using the models in long and short time horizons are discussed.
