The Assessment of the Effect of Tree Cover and Consumption on the Happiness Index

• Dr. H. Hilal Bağlıtaş (Erciyes University, Türkiye)

Abstract

Happiness is mainly related to the subjective evaluation of life consisting of different variables and is also affected by various factors. One of these factors is that consumption meets basic physical needs, luxury purchases, and psychological satisfaction. On the other side, quality of life improves, and the level of happiness rises if human keeps their connection with nature. In this context, we aim to analyze the link between tree cover and consumption with the happiness index using 31 selected countries’ data. For this purpose, we used the method of pooling ordinary least squares. The results suit our argument that tree cover is more effective than consumption for a higher happiness level. By paying more attention to the tree cover and the environment, we can be happier and leave a more livable world to the next generations.
