Research Papers
At the Happy Tech Lab, our work spans three core areas. First, we investigate digital well-being, examining when and why smartphones and social media displace or enhance everyday happiness. Second, we develop and test strategies for increasing happiness, including skill-based programs and interventions that boost people’s subjective well-being over time. Finally, we study the socioeconomics of happiness, exploring how income and economic policies—from daily finances to progressive taxation—shape emotional health across different groups. Together, we aim to offer a more comprehensive view of what truly drives well-being in our modern, interconnected world.
