Дали най-хубавото предстои? Взаимодействие между минало и бъдеще в няколко субективни индикатора за благосъстояние
Is the Best Ahead? Interaction between present and future in some indicators of subjective wellbeing

Summary/Abstract: The article makes an overview of different subjective models in which assessment of the past and expectations for the future interact. Hypotheses about the interaction of the subjective indicators and their relation to reality are also discussed. The analysis is focused on the distributions and changes over time of several subjective measures of economic well-being, income, social status and health. The use of some more complex indicators based on changes in the subjective assessments of individuals surveyed over several consecutive periods is also demonstrated. The discussion of possible subjective models of comparing past, present and future in terms of total and personal economic wellbeing is based on regression analysis. The article draws on empirical data from 3 panel surveys among more than 2500 households conducted in 2010-2011.
