В статье дан обзор современного состояния исследований «экономики счастья», которая выявляет взаимосвязь между субъективными представлениями личности об удовлетворенности собственной жизнью (уровнем счастья) и экономическими показателями. Рассмотрен вопрос о корреляции экономических и неэкономических показателей, которые также влияют на уровень счастья (образование, здоровье и т.д.). Автор подробно останавливается на следующих вопросах: методология исследований в данной области, взаимосвязь показателя удовлетворенности собственной жизнью и результативности экономической деятельности на микро- и макроуровне.
