• Income Aspirations, Television and Happiness: Evidence from the World Values Survey (2006, background): “Scitovsky, 1976, Hirsch, 1977, Ng, 1978, Layard, 1980, Veenhoven, 1991, Oswald, 1997, Frey and Stutzer, 2002b, Hagerty and Veenhoven, 2003, Bruni and Porta, 2005, Easterlin, 2005, Frank, 2005, Layard, 2005b ).”
• Subjective well-being poverty vs. Income poverty and capabilities poverty? (2006, background): “Layard (2003), in surveying the field, takes an even more sanguine view: ‘The scientific study of happiness is only just beginning.”
• National well-being and international sports events (2010, background): “That is, people do not seem to become happier as they become richer (Easterlin, 1974, 1995, 2005; Layard, 2005b).”
• Gift Exchange and Workers' Fairness Concerns: When Equality is Unfair (2010, unknown): “…this influences performance, i.e., whether low relative income leads to frustration and reduced performance (as in Clark et al. forthcoming and Torgler et al. 2006) or to an increase in performance due to a “positional arms race” (Neumark and Postlewaite 1998, Layard 2005, Bowles and Park 2005).”
• Pro-environmental behavior and rational consumer choice: Evidence from surveys of life satisfaction (2010, background): “, overwork (Layard 2007) or excessive commuting (Frey and Stutzer 2004) relative to activities which serve non-material goals.”
• Watching alone: Relational goods, television and happiness (2008, background): “…introduced by Duesenberry (1949).3 The basic idea is that people compare themselves to some reference group when making consumption decisions, so that individual utility depends not only on the absolute level but also on the relative level of consumption (see e.g. Frank, 2005, Layard, 2005).”
• Happiness Economics from 35,000 Feet (2012, unknown): “, 2003), and failure to anticipate the extent of habituation to rises in one’s income (Layard, 2005b).”
• Community, Comparisons and Subjective Well-being in a Divided Society (2007, background): “Indeed, Frank (1985), Akerlof and Yellen (1990), Frank and Sunstein (2001) and Layard (1980, 2003a) have argued that some well-established ideas about economic policy would be overturned if relative income were to matter.”
