This letter assesses the impact of the Great Recession on well-being in Spanish provinces using two alternative composite indicators of objective well-being that include somewhat different dimensions. Whereas the crisis notably eroded economic well-being, its impact on overall well-being–which in addition to economic dimensions also includes non-economic ones–was imperceptible. This result points to the need to carefully define and assess well-being in empirical analyses.

Abstract
This letter assesses the impact of the Great Recession on well-being in Spanish provinces using two alternative composite indicators of objective well-being that include somewhat different dimensions. Whereas the crisis notably eroded economic well-being, its impact on overall well-being–which in addition to economic dimensions also includes non-economic ones–was imperceptible. This result points to the need to carefully define and assess well-being in empirical analyses.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
