Abstract

El bienestar, sus componentes y determinantes han retomado importancia en la teoría económica, y se han convertido en un tema actual y significativo. Por ello, este estudio tuvo como objetivo conocer el impacto de tres variables económicas del bienestar objetivo en la felicidad (bienestar subjetivo) de los individuos, en el ámbito urbano. A través de un modelo de regresión logística aplicado a datos de la ciudad de Montevideo, se pudo observar que existe una relación significativa entre el ingreso, la riqueza y el desempleo de un individuo con la probabilidad de que se autoproclame feliz (positiva en los dos primeros casos y negativa en el tercero). Los resultados obtenidos permiten asistir a la construcción de política pública en lo que respecta a la relevancia de las variables consideradas
