Measuring Subjective Wellbeing for Public Policy: Recommendations on Measures (2011, methodology): “Policy appraisal using SWB has interested academics (Dolan and Kahneman, 2008) and it is now interesting policymakers too (HM Treasury, 2008).”
Theoretical Perspectives Guiding QOL Indicator Projects (2011, methodology): “Much of the research done by scholars such as Daniel Kahneman and Arthur Stone (e.g., Dockray et al. 2010; Dolan and Kahneman 2008) focuses on conceptualizing and operationalizing measures of subjective well-being using concepts from hedonic psychology.”
Life (Dis)Satisfaction and the Intention to Migrate: Evidence from Central and Eastern Europe (2014, background): “[24] Dolan, P.”
Life satisfaction dynamics with quarterly life event data (2011, unknown): “Various theoretical studies rationalise the existence of adaptation in an evolutionary context and explore its implications for utilitarian accounting (see Menzel et al., 2002; Graham and Oswald, 2006; Rayo and Becker, 2007; Dolan and Kahneman, 2008).”
Destruction and Distress: Using a Quasi-Experiment to Show the Effects of the September 11 Attacks on Mental Well-Being in the United Kingdom (2011, background): “Another way is through people s experienced utility (Kahneman et al., 1997; Dolan and Kahneman, 2008), or what we describe as subjective well-being (SWB).”
The Life Satisfaction Approach to Environmental Valuation (2010, background): “…adaptation, a difference in saliency of various aspects between the moment of prediction and the moment of experience and a focusing illusion (for a discussion of these effects in the specific context of the CVM, see Loewenstein and Schkade 1999; Kahneman and Sugden 2005; Dolan and Kahneman 2008).”
Measuring subjective well-being for public policy (2011, background): “We should like to have attention focussed on those things that will matter to the respondent when they are experiencing their lives and when they are not thinking about an answer to our surveys (Dolan and Kahneman, 2008).”
Measuring Subjective Wellbeing: Recommendations on Measures for use by National Governments (2012, methodology): “Indeed, the health economics literature is now showing that different quality of life weights would be derived from SWB data than from using more standard preference-based methods (Dolan and Kahneman, 2008; Dolan et al., forthcoming).”
Perspectives from the Happiness Literature and the Role of New Instruments for Policy Analysis (2007, unknown): “Changes in health can be assessed in terms of ‘health gains’ and ‘health gains per dollar’(VanPraag,Ferrer(2004), Dolan and Kahneman (2006)).”
