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. 410 0$aPremio Ricerca «Cittą di Firenze» ;$v4. 606 $aQuality of life 615 0$aQuality of life. 676 $a306 700 $aSarracino$b Francesco$0855382 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910774874803321 996 $aSocial capital, economic growth and Well-being$91909613 997 $aUNINA
