Frey, B. S., &Stutzer, A. (1999). Measuring preferences by subjective well-being. Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics (JITE)/Zeitschrift für die gesamte Staatswissenschaft, 755-778.
The measurement of preferences is an ongoing challenge for economists. New insights can be won by relying on reported subjective well-being in addition to observed behaviour. Empirical estimates of well-being functions, based on a sample of 5500 Swiss residents, find that unemployed persons are much unhappier than employed ones. Differences in life satisfaction between income …
Clark, A. E. (2003). Unemployment as a social norm: Psychological evidence from panel data. Journal of labor economics, 21(2), 323-351.
This article uses seven waves of panel data to test for social norms in labor market status. The unemployed’s well‐being is shown to be strongly positively correlated with reference group unemployment (at the regional, partner, or household level). This result, far stronger for men, is robust to controls for unobserved individual heterogeneity. Panel data …

Fixed effects estimations with German data obtain the result that unemployment significantly lowers overall satisfaction with life. The results differ for men and women and are consistent with estimates of labor supply elasticities. Gerlach, K., &Stephan, G. (1996). A paper on unhappiness and unemployment in Germany.

Clark, A., Georgellis, Y., &Sanfey, P. (2001). Scarring: The psychological impact of past unemployment. Economica, 68(270), 221-241.
This paper considers the psychological impact of past unemployment. Using 11 waves of German panel data, we show that life satisfaction is lower not only for the current unemployed (relative to the employed), but also for those with higher levels of past unemployment. However, the negative wellbeing effect of current unemployment is weaker for …
