TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between money and happiness, and found that both permanent income and wealth are better predictors of life satisfaction than current income, but their relative impacts differ.

TL;DR: The authors used the employment history data from the British Cohort Study to calculate an individual's total experience of unemployment from the time they left education up to age 30, and found that, conditional on current unemployment, this experience is negatively correlated with the life satisfaction that the individual reports at age 30.

TL;DR: This article used panel data from the COME-HERE survey to track income inequality during COVID-19 in France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, finding that relative inequality in equivalent household disposable income among individuals changed in a hump-shaped way between January 2020 and January 2021, with an initial rise from January to May 2020 being more than reversed by September 2020.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the impact of exogenous reductions in weekly working hours induced by reforms implemented in Portugal and France, and found that reduced working hours generated significant and robust increases in job and leisure satisfaction of the workers affected in both countries, with the rise in the former mainly being explained by greater satisfaction with working hours and working conditions.

TL;DR: This paper used the employment history data from the British Cohort Study to calculate an individual's total experience of unemployment from the time they left school up to age 30 and found that this experience is negatively correlated with the life satisfaction that the individual reports at age 30, so that past unemployment scars.
