Descripción
In the present paper we attempt to analyse the relationship between ‘lifestyle’ and happiness in the UK using an
instrumental variable approach. Our lifestyle variables have a significantly positive impact on happiness and the
impact increases with the use of instruments. This suggests that a ‘healthy lifestyle’ has a positive impact on
happiness and that any policy improving our lifestyle proxies would also make people happier in the UK.
