What the paper says
In this paper we explain the influence of some economic-social and psychological factors on a higher life satisfaction, as an expression of the subjective state of well-being, on a sample of 32 European countries. In the analysis, we used results of surveys on quality of life conducted during 2011-2012 and 2016 by Eurofound. We opted for estimating spatial models to highlight influences on well-being due to the existence of spatial autocorrelation between variables. The findings reveal that there is consistent positive relationship between life satisfaction and satisfaction in the fields and a significant negative relationships were found in relation to negative emotions, perception of a high degree of corruption in society or, even more importantly, unequal income distribution.
