Description

This book is the first of its kind to provide a comprehensive overview of the burgeoning field of happiness and economics.

The essays collected in this book provide an authoritative and comprehensive assessment of the theoretical, applied and partly experimental aspects of the whole field and discusses the economic, sociological, philosophical, and psychological contributions to the field.

The book breaks new ground, particularly on the more recent directions ofresearch on happiness, well-being, interpersonal relations and reciprocity.
