How economists measure whether you're happy.
By Tim HarfordPosted Saturday, Dec. 9, 2006.

Here's an extract: Happiness is a big question both for researchers and for policy wonks these days, so it is slightly discomfiting to reflect that people may not even know the answer to the simple question, "Are you happy?" For instance, although you choose your spouse but not your parents, people seem to enjoy spending time with their parents more than they enjoy spending time with their spouses. Maybe Oedipus had the right idea after all.
On the other hand, married people claim to be happier than single people do. What explains the discrepancy? The difference rests on an unexpected distinction: How satisfied you are with your life is not at all the same thing as how you feel while you are living it.


Well Well, true enough..I agreed with this article..How u measure "Happiness"? Are you more happier if you are single or attached to someone...Erm..Yap!Happy Xmas to you guyz!!Indeed, 2006 is coming to the end and we will be welcoming 2007!!
