CWWH Happy Hour Research Seminar – The Stockholm Wellbeing Index: “The New GDP?”

What if wellbeing growth became a formal societal target — measured, tracked, and used to guide decision-making in Stockholm? In this seminar, we explore the first results of the Stockholm Wellbeing Index, a new quarterly index aiming to understand how wellbeing is developing across the city.

As part of this work, several key questions emerge: 
What are the fundamental factors that impact wellbeing in Stockholm? 
What is the wellbeing equality coefficient (WEC)? 
What is the monetary worth of a wellbeing increase in the population (VOWI)? 
And what can we learn from the Stockholm Coffee Coefficient? 

In the seminar, Professor Micael Dahlen will present the findings from the first two quarters and invite participants to discuss what these early insights might mean for Stockholm’s future. 

This Happy Hour Lunch Seminar is arranged by the Center for Wellbeing, Welfare, and Happiness (CWWH) at the Stockholm School of Economics. 

When: Wednesday, December 3 | 12:00–13:00 
Where: Stockholm School of Economics, ,Sveavägen 65
Physical participation only (no online option)
