Since the creation of Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) in 1964 and AmeriCorps in 1993, a stated goal of national service programs has been to strengthen the overall health of communities across the United States. But whether national service programs have such community effects remains an open question. Using longitudinal cross-lagged panel and change-score models from 2005 to 2013, this study explores whether communities with national service programs exhibit greater subjective well-being. We use novel measures of subjective well-being derived from tweeted expressions of emotions, engagement, and relationships in 1,347 U.S. counties. Results show that national service programs improve subjective well-being primarily by mitigating threats to well-being and communities that exhibit more engagement are better able to attract national service programs. Although limited in size, these persistent effects are robust to multiple threats to inference and provide important new evidence on how national service improves communities in the United States.

Practical Implications

Abstract Research purpose. The job types might be potential determinants of subjective well-being (SWB), which is seldom investigated in the current literature. This article examines this relationship by collecting data from the Chinese Household Income Project in 2013 to explore this relationship. Approach. In line with existing studies on SWB, we apply the ordered probit model and further estimate the effects of different job types on SWB. Findings. This article demonstrates that individuals employed by Sino-foreign joint enterprises tend to have the lowest SWB. On the contrary, those employed by the public sector and private enterprises are more likely to acquire higher satisfaction. Practical implications. To conclude, job types are closely linked with SWB and job types should be incorporated as a crucial factor when further analysing the SWB.

AbstractThis paper offers new evidence on the life-cycle pattern of happiness. A novelty of the analysis is that it exploits information on the period individuals recall as the happiest in their lives. Data come from SHARELIFE 2008/09, a retrospective life survey conducted in 13 European countries among individuals aged 50 or more. Using this information, I build a longitudinal data set that extends across the whole lifespan of respondents. The probability of living a happiest year in life at each age is estimated through a conditional fixed effects logit model. Results show that the likelihood of living the happiest period in life exhibits a concave relationship with age, with a turning point at about 30–34 years and a decreasing trend from that point onward. Retrospectively, midlife is not perceived as the least likely happiest period in life. These patterns persist even after controlling for usual correlates of subjective well-being, and they are rather stable across cohorts and genders despite presenting certain variability across European countries.

RESUMEN Avanzado el último cuarto del siglo XX, los economistas Easterlin y Scitovski ponen en duda que la riqueza sea el principal elemento explicativo de la felicidad de las personas. Décadas más tarde, Helliwell y Putnam muestran que la educación contribuye al bienestar subjetivo. A partir de esta nueva evidencia y los datos ofrecidos por las encuestas del CIS (2014), el presente trabajo quiere arrojar un poco de luz sobre la felicidad de los titulados universitarios de España en el año del adiós a la crisis económica, con el objeto de elaborar un mapa provincial del bienestar subjetivo de los egresados residentes en España durante el año 2014.Palabras clave: economía de la felicidad, excelencia educativa, bienestar subjetivo de los titulados universitarios.A map of the happiness of the spanish university graduates in the farewell of the economic crisis (2014) ABSTRACTLate in the last quarter of the twentieth century, Easterlin and Scitovski economists questioned whether wealth is the main element that explains the happiness of people.
