Goals of this class are for you to be happier, for you to be better able to understand those who have different political views than you do, and for you to be able to do careful statistical interpretation in social science contexts. You will study happiness along with many other aspects of well-being. Key themes are how to be happy (�the production function for happiness�), how to use self-reported happiness data and other well-being data to guide policy, and how to think about the range of different values people have about what is important for themselves and for society (including how different values are reflected in a range of different political opinions). Recommended prerequisite: ECON 3080.
