Abstract
⺠Present work tests the cross-country comparability of a happiness equation including proxies of social capital and relational goods. ⺠It focuses on two extremely opposite groups of countries: the richest and the poorest ones. ⺠The happiness equation is stable in the two groups of countries. ⺠Proxies of relational goods are positively correlated with subjective well-being. ⺠Social capital is a significant correlate of subjective well-being with stronger coefficients in high income countries.
