Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project aims to develop “economics of happiness” in Japan. It conducted many studies with nine co-investigators and found many results including the followings: 1) the result of 2009 general election made supporters of the Democratic Party of Japan happier and those of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (LDP) and New Komeito unhappier; 2) happiness depends on temperature, 3) compared with satisficers, maximizers are associated with lower levels of happiness among Japanese, while such tendency is not clear among Americans, and 4) events of marriage and childbirth make husband and wife happier.
