In terms of happiness, your spouse — if you have one — is worth $100000 a year.
That’ s the finding of two economists who have tried to put a monetary value on happiness, measuring the emotional value of everything from religion to racial discrimination in dollars.
Such a calculation, admits economist David Blanchflower is “a little bit off the wall” and may prompt wry comments within some marriages on “cashing in”.
The two economists are, of course, speaking of averages. They have used an annual survey of some 1,500 Americans from 1972 to 1998 to measure self-reported happiness and the factors that go with it. But it turns out that the happiness value of a stable marriage is “incredibly high”, says Dr. Blanchflower, a professor at Dartmouth College in Hanover, N. H., whose study has just been published by the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, Mass. “Don’ t give it up lightly.”
