This paper is a guide into the latest developments in happiness research as they apply to the valuation of health. It considers the degree to which happiness data can overcome some of the well-known problems with existing preference-based ways of valuing health. It presents new valuation data that show how the dimensions of health that matter most in happiness regressions are not the same as those that matter most when people are asked about their preferences.
