Attitudes to Income Inequality: Experimental and Survey Evidence (2014, background): “, 2001), aircraft noise (Van Praag and Baarsma, 2005), and pollution (Luechinger, 2009), although there are by”
Valuing flood disasters using the life satisfaction approach (2009, methodology): “It has been used to value air pollution (see Welsch 2002; Luechinger 2007), terrorist activity and political violence (Frey, Luechinger and Stutzer 2006), climatic conditions (Rehdanz and Maddison 2005) and airport noise nuisance (Van Praag and Baarsma 2005).”
On the Use of Subjective Well-Being Data for Environmental Valuation (2010, methodology): “…literature: warmer climatic conditions, across all the specifications, and air quality, in the baseline specification, have a positive and statistically significant effect of well-being as in Frijters and van Praag (1998), Redhanz and Maddison (2005), Welsch (2002 and 2006) and Luechinger (2009).”
The state of wellbeing science: Concepts, measures, interventions, and policies (2014, background): “A substantial amount of research has focused on perceived environmental problems, such as air pollution and noise, which are associated with lower subjective wellbeing, even when adjustment has been made for potential confounders such as income (Ferrer-I-Carbonell & Gowdy, 2005; Luechinger, 2009; va”
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, methodology): “It has also been used to determine the impact that non-market goods have on SWB (e.g., van Praag and Baarsma, 2005; Dolan and Metcalfe, 2008; Luechinger, 2009).”
A review of air pollution impact on subjective well-being: Survey versus visual psychophysics (2018, unknown): “Generally, air pollution characteristics can change dramatically based on time, space, weather and climate (Luechinger, 2009; Schmitt, 2013).”
Public Greenspace and Life Satisfaction in Urban Australia (2014, background): “Similarly, Maas et al. (2006) in the Netherlands and Mitchell and Popham (2007) in England find greenspace to enhance perceived general health; the former finding the relationship to be stronger for lower-socio economic groups, with some residents such as the elderly, youth and those with low levels”
Life Satisfaction and Air Quality in Europe (2012, methodology): “, Di Tella and MacCulloch, 2008, Luechinger, 2009, 2010, Menz and Welsch 2012) find that pollution negatively affects subjective well-being, but they use country level data or concentrate on one country only (Luechinger, 2009).”
Measuring Subjective Wellbeing: Recommendations on Measures for use by National Governments (2012, background): “SWB can also be used for assessing the consequences of cigarette taxation (Gruber and Mullainatha, 2005), air pollution (Luechinger, 2009), flooding (Luechinger and Rasacky, 2009) and the risk of terrorism (Metcalfe et al., 2011).”
The life satisfaction approach to valuing public goods: The case of terrorism (2009, background): “Examples are Van Praag and Baarsma (2005), assessing the effect of noise nuisance, Welsch (2002) and Luechinger (2008), estimating the effect of urban air pollution, and Luechinger and Raschky (2008), estimating the effect of flood disasters.”
The relationship between well-being and commuting revisited: Does the choice of methodology matter? (2014, methodology): “However, as shown by Frey et al. (2009), Luechinger (2009), and Luechinger and Raschky (2009) for example, the ratios of the coefficients in the ordered model can be used to evaluate the trade-off between commuting time and income using the so-called ‘life satisfaction approach’.”
