• Climate-Resilient Pathways: Adaptation, Mitigation, and Sustainable Development (2014, background): “In many cases, growth in consumption that raises human wellbeing (such as food and health services), especially among populations with incomes rising from low levels, is a catalyst for economic and social development (Clark et al., 2008; Deaton, 2008).”
• The Geography of Development (2018, methodology): “However, given that Deaton and Stone (2013) and Stevenson and Wolfers (2013) find a relationship between subjective well-being and the log of real income that is similar within the United States and across countries, we abstract from these potential differences in welfare benchmarks across the world”
