This paper deals with the concept of happiness in economics. Of\udlate there has come into life a branch of happiness economics and it\udis this field that will be our concern. Actually, not only economists\udare interested in quantifications of happiness but also researchers\udin other disciplines. Notably there are several psychologists who\udinvestigate happiness as well. We mention Schimmack et al. (2002),\udKahneman et al. (1999, 2006), Kahneman and Krueger (2006), Clark\udet al. (2008) and Lucas and Schimmack (2009). There are also some\udinterconnections between happiness economists and psychologists\udas in the citations just mentioned. In this paper we will focus on\udhappiness economics, although we will sometimes refer to work in other\uddisciplines as well. Happiness economics is up to now an empirically\udoriented field. There is no attention for philosophical contemplations\udon happiness, the sense of life, etc. as we find in philosophy and\udreligious studies (see, e.g., Feldman (2010), Nussbaum and Sen (1993),\udHaybron (2010) and Bok (2010) for a philosophical approach). We\udshall not touch on these issues in this tract.
