Economistas de la Universidad de Trent en Ontario (Canad\u00e1) han adoptado una visi\u00f3n exterior de catorce pa\u00edses europeos para ver si existe o no un v\u00ednculo causal entre los niveles de contaminaci\u00f3n del aire y la felicidad de los ciudadanos de esos pa\u00edses.<\/p>\n

Los investigadores analizaron datos sobre niveles de contaminaci\u00f3n de B\u00e9lgica, Dinamarca, Francia, Alemania, Grecia, Irlanda, Italia, Luxemburgo, Pa\u00edses Bajos, Portugal, Rumania, Rusia, Espa\u00f1a y Reino Unido.

Los resultados sugieren que cambiar las pol\u00edticas para reducir la contaminaci\u00f3n podr\u00edan tener un efecto positivo. \u00abUn aire m\u00e1s limpio elevar\u00e1 el nivel de felicidad de los ciudadanos europeos y de otras regiones del mundo\u00bb, se\u00f1alan los autores.<\/p>\n

\"\"Researchers in Canada have found a correlation between air pollution and people’s happiness. Their deep analysis, reported in the latest issue of the International Journal of Green Economics, suggests that air pollution may lead to unhappiness while the converse is also true, the unhappier the citizens of a country the more air pollution. <\/p>\n

Economists at Trent University in Ontario, Canada, have taken an outside view of fourteen European countries to see whether or not there is a causal link between levels of air pollution and the happiness of citizens of those countries. <\/p>\n

The researchers looked at recorded data on pollution levels in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Spain and the UK. They analysed per capita carbon dioxide emissions as a proxy for overall pollution given that its main source is the burning of fossil fuels and looked for causality using a statistical formula, the Granger causality test, with citizen happiness as determined from survey data.<\/p>\n

The findings do not offer a mechanism by which air pollution levels cause unhappiness and vice versa. However, they do suggest that policy changes that encourage less pollution will have a positive effect. \u00abA stronger case can be made for further regulation of the state of the environment in general and air quality in particular,\u00bb the team says. \u00abCleaner air will elevate the level of happiness of citizens in Europe and we suspect in other regions around the globe.\u00bb <\/p>\n
