Traditional theories – adaptation and social comparisons – explain this evidence, but they don't explain what shapes the trend of subjective well-being and its differences across countries. Recent research identified in social capital a plausible candidate to explain the trends of well-being. This dissertation adopts various econometric techniques to explore the relationship over time among social capital, economic growth and subjective well-being. The main conclusion is that social capital is a good predictor of the trend of subjective well-being, both within and across countries. Hence, policies for well-being should aim at preserving and enhancing social capital for the quality of the social environment matters.Teaching of specific groups & persons with special educational needsbicsscTeaching of specific groups & persons with special educational needsSarracino Francescoauth855382BOOK9910571716103321Social capital, economic growth and Well-being1909613UNINA
