On the Relation Between Income Inequality and Happiness: Do Fairness Perceptions Matter?

Building on a two-period model of individual life-time utility maximization, we predict that persons with higher perceived fairness will experience higher levels of life-time utility and are less in favor of income redistribution. In societies with a high level of actual ...Working Paper -

Herbstprognose der schweizerischen Gesundheitsausgaben 2008–2011

The growth in the year 2010 is further slowed down by price cuts for pharmaceuticals.Report
