Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between globalization and life satisfaction in Europe and Central Asia over the period of 2005 to 2018. Using the KOF index of globalization, we documented the non-linear (U-shaped) relationship between globalization and subjective wellbeing. Once we account for endogeneity and simultaneity with the aid of a two-step GMM estimator, the turning point is 66 points, which is approximate to the levels of globalization in Albania in 2018. We also report that the sub-dimension of globalization (political, economic and social) are also non-linearly related to life satisfaction. The results are robust to a number of tests.
