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. 606 $aTeaching of specific groups & persons with special educational needs$2bicssc 615 7$aTeaching of specific groups & persons with special educational needs 700 $aSarracino$b Francesco$4auth$0855382 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910571716103321 996 $aSocial capital, economic growth and Well-being$91909613 997 $aUNINA
