Personal Well-Being During Growth

Author

  • Eric Edmonds

Abstract

The relative importance of improvements in economic status is considered in explaining improvements in non-monetary measures of well-being during Vietnam's economic boom in the 1990s. It is illustrated that the relationship between well-being and economic status is neither simple nor monotone [Darmouth and NBER WP].
