1 Empirical well-being measurement On composite indicators, life satisfaction, and equivalent income Koen Decancq (University of Antwerp) ISPRA September 2014
2 Motivation Measuring well-being is a central issue in (social) policy making. Well-being is multidimensional (Stiglitz et al. 2009). New questions: Can we construct an (operational) multidimensional well-being measure? Is there a single silver bullet? Does the choice between the measures matters empirically?

5 Building blocks of a well-being measure 1. The outcome vector
6 Building blocks of a well-being measure income health
7 Building blocks of a well-being measure 1. The outcome vector 2. Informed opinion on the good life (aka preference ordering )
8 Building blocks of a well-being measure income health
9 Building blocks of a well-being measure income health
10 Building blocks of a well-being measure 1. The outcome vector 2. Informed opinion on the good life (aka preference ordering ) 3. Satisfaction function (so that )
11 Building blocks of a well-being measure 1. The outcome vector 2. Informed opinion on the good life (aka preference ordering ) 3. Satisfaction function (so that ) A well-being measure:
12 A first well-being measure (the non-starter) We split the outcome vector income non-income Where is again a vector A first (familiar) well-being measure: Resource fetishism (Sen, 1985). We need a multidimensional measure
13 Principles for a well-being measure income health
14 Principles for a well-being measure income health
15 Principles for a well-being measure income health
16 An inconvenient result income health
17 An inconvenient result income health
18 An inconvenient result Trouble in paradise! income health
19 An inconvenient result Based on this little graph we find a deep (and inconvenient) result: As soon as people disagree on the good life, no well-being measure satisfies both principles income health And we have to choose
20 An inconvenient result
21 Roadmap Part 1. Measuring well-being on a crossroads Building blocks for a well-being measure Principles for a well-being measure An inconvenient result Part 2. Three well-being measures Composite well-being index Life satisfaction Equivalent incomes Part 3. Illustrations The worst off in Germany Beyond GDP: Social Progress in Europe
22 Route 1. Use a common view on the good life Based on this little graph we find a deep and annoying result: As soon as people disagree on the good life, no well-being measure satisfies both principles income health
23 Route 1. Use a common view on the good life income health
24 Route 1. Use a common view on the good life income health
25 Route 1. Use a common view on the good life income health
26 Route 1. Use a common view on the good life income health
27 Route 1. Use a common view on the good life A composite index of well-being A popular mathematical structure Degree of substitutability
28 Route 1. Use a common view on the good life A composite index of well-being A popular mathematical structure Degree of substitutability Transformation function
29 Route 1. Use a common view on the good life A composite index of well-being A popular mathematical structure Degree of substitutability Transformation function Weighting scheme
30 Route 1. Use a common view on the good life How to set the weights? Three main approaches 1. Data-driven Depend only on information on outcomes BUT: Hume s guillotine 2. Normative Depend only on the common opinion on the good life BUT: the opinion of whom? 3. Hybrid Depend on both
31 Route 1. Use a common view on the good life Data: LEVO (2010) (n=1552)
32 Route 1. Use a common view on the good life Data: LEVO (2010) (n=1552)
33 Route 1. Use a common view on the good life Example: target the multidimensional poor individuals (i.e. below 60% of median well-being) Multidimensional poverty always sometimes never Who are the worst-off?
34 Route 1. Use a common view on the good life... those with a stake in the outcomes will almost certainly be in a better position to determine what weights to apply than the analyst calibrating a measure of poverty.
35 Back to the cross road Based on this little graph we find a deep (and inconvenient) result: As soon as people disagree on the good life, no well-being measure satisfies both principles income health And take the other route
36 Route 2. Use life satisfaction Why don t we ask the individuals themselves? Subjective Well-Being (SWB) Affects (happiness) Cognitive valuations (life satisfaction)
37 Route 2. Use life satisfaction Why don t we ask the individuals themselves? Subjective Well-Being (SWB) Affects (happiness) Cognitive valuations (life satisfaction) Are the opinions of individuals (preferences) respected?
38 Route 2. Use life satisfaction Under the consistency assumption the preferences of the concerned individuals are respected in intra-personal comparisons What about interpersonal comparisons? A more attractive (useful) principle:
39 Route 2. Use life satisfaction income 5 for Iris 9 for John 3 for Iris 7 for John health SWB does not fulfil the Same Preference Principle SWB does not fulfil the Dominance Principle
40 Route 3. Equivalent Incomes Is there a third route? A measure that satisfies Same Preference Principle Back to the trouble maker: Let s weaken the Dominance Principle income health
41 Route 3. Equivalent Incomes Is there a third route? A measure that satisfies Same Preference Principle Back to the trouble maker: Let s weaken the Dominance Principle income health
42 Route 3. Equivalent Incomes Is there a third route? A measure that satisfies Same Preference Principle Back to the trouble maker: Let s weaken the Dominance Principle income health
43 Route 3. Equivalent Incomes Is there a third route? A measure that satisfies Same Preference Principle Back to the trouble maker: Let s weaken the Dominance Principle income health
44 Route 3. Equivalent Incomes There is a measure that satisfies And that is Equivalent Income Developed in 70s by Samuelson and others Revitalized recently by Fleurbaey and others
45 Route 3. Equivalent Incomes Equivalent income = the hypothetical income that -- if combined with a reference value on all non-income dimensions -- would place the individual in a situation that she finds equally good as her initial situation
46 Route 3. Equivalent Incomes income Ann Bob Perfect health health
47 Route 3. Equivalent Incomes income Ann Bob A Perfect health health
48 Route 3. Equivalent Incomes income Ann Bob Equivalent income A A Perfect health health
49 Route 3. Equivalent Incomes income Ann Equivalent income B Equivalent income A Bob B A Perfect health health
50 Route 3. Equivalent Incomes Equivalent incomes Additional information is neccessary on: The reference values: an ethical question, hence room for debate. The preferences of the individuals (see next part).

70 Beyond GDP: Social Progress in Europe Recent interest in going beyond GDP (At least) two problems with GDP growth as measure of social progress: 1. GDP is not based on an attractive measure of individual well-being (income) 2. Average is blind for distribution What happens if other dimensions are included? (equivalent income) What happens if the distribution is included? (penalty for inequality)

82 Conclusion Can we construct an (operational) multidimensional well-being measure? YES Is there a single silver bullet? NO Does the choice between the measures matters empircally? YES Different measures take a different position on what are the most appealing principles. This is a value judgment. Let s be explicit about these value judgments, so that they are open to public scrutiny
