Comment
- Editors note
The paper by Helen
Johns and Paul Ormerod, The unhappy thing about happiness
economics, that appeared in the last issue of this journal
has attracted an uncommonly large number of readers. In addition to downloads of the whole
issue, Johns and Ormerods paper has to date
been downloaded over 12,000 times, more than twice the average rate.
Given this strength of interest and the papers strong and consequential
thesis, a dozen leading practitioners of happiness economics have been
approached, offering them a chance to reply. So far none have ventured forth. If
there is any economist out there who feels capable of rebutting all or
part of Johns and Ormerods arguments, then a
space awaits them in this journal.
