We here first consider how well-being is measured, and then ask how it is related to the distribution of income. What may have appeared obvious is in fact not so. When individuals compare their incomes to each other, inequality changes not only absolute income but also income relative to others. In addition, our normative judgements of the \u201cright\u201d level of inequality vary widely according to the method applied to measure them, the part of the income distribution in which income changes, and whether income changes are fair. Reflecting the above concerns, empirical work on income inequality and happiness has produced a remarkable variety of contradictory findings.<\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1143,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"event_start_date":"2018-12-12 13:00:00","event_end_date":"2018-12-12 14:00:00","event_speaker_name":"Andrew Clark, Paris School of Economics, CNRS","event_speaker_link":"","event_is_online":false,"event_location":"EIB","event_street":"98-100 Boulevard Konrad Adenauer","event_location_link":"","event_zip_code":"L- 2950 ","event_city":"Luxembourg","event_country":"LU"},"events-topic":[],"events-type":[],"organisation":[146],"authorship":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Inequality and Happiness - Inequality and...
