We often take a life-cycle approach, using panel and birth-cohort data to link early-life events to later-life outcomes. Our research is also interdisciplinary, mixing Economics, Psychology and the Life Sciences. We aim to provide a better understanding of individual and societal well-being, and suggest policies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-free-section section\"><div class=\"container xl:max-w-screen-xl\"><div class=\"content-card content-card--right content-card__overlay--hidden wp-block-unilux-blocks-content-card\">\n    \n<h2 class=\"content-card__heading has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"    >\nIndividual and societal well-being<\/h2>\n<div class=\"content-card__visual wp-block-unilux-blocks-content-card-visual-area\">\n    \n<section class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-image-video-wrapper\">\n    <figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"iStock-1364911493\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/iStock-1364911493iNh1vt.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/iStock-1364911493iNh1vt-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/iStock-1364911493iNh1vt-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/iStock-1364911493iNh1vt-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/iStock-1364911493iNh1vt-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/iStock-1364911493iNh1vt.jpg 2000w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 3\/2; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><\/section>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper content-card__overlay\">\n<a class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-button-highlight-rounded bottom-left\" \n    href=\"#\"\n    target=\"_self\"\n>\n    \n<span class=\"btn-highlight-rounded__name wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\"><\/span>    <span class=\"icon-rounded\">\n        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-right icon--lg\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-right\"><\/use><\/svg>    <\/span>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"content-card__body  wp-block-unilux-blocks-content-card-free-area\">\n    \n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Our Covid-19 research includes running 10 waves of a six-country panel (COME-HERE).

together machine learning approaches, physics-inspired descriptors, and the economics of wellbeing to address questions broadly related to predicting life satisfaction and health of individuals in a data-driven manner. In the context of improving individuals\u2019 life, one is often faced with the question of ordering individual\/societal parameters (i.e. health and wealth) in terms of their importance. Up to now, state-of-the-art approaches relied on linear regression with very low Pearson correlation coefficients (R^2=0.2-0.3). The main goal of this project is to apply modern nonlinear machine-learning techniques to data on individual and social wellbeing with the aim to: (1) understand the structure of the data and signal\/noise ratio of many existing datasets, (2) go significantly beyond linear regression with kernel-based methods and neural networks to search for multi-property correlations, (3) assess different descriptors of individuals and metric definitions in \u2018individual spaces\u2019. To our knowledge, such fundamental \u2018first-principles\u2019 approaches to data analysis and nonlinear regression are only now starting to be applied to data on individual and social wellbeing, hence our project is timely and of potentially substantial impact.<br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n\n<li class=\"list-highlighted__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item\">\n    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-header\">\n    \n<h5 class=\"text-18 has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"link\"\n    >\nLink<\/h5>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-bigtext\">\n    <span>\n        \n    <\/span>\n<\/div><\/header><div class=\"list-highlighted__body wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-body\">\n    <div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-free-content-area\">\n    \n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wwwfr.uni.lu\/ias\/running_audacity_projects\/2019_audacity_projects\/dsewell\">https:\/\/wwwfr.uni.lu\/ias\/running_audacity_projects\/2019_audacity_projects\/dsewell<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"accordion__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-accordion-item\">\n    <h3 class=\"accordion__header\"\n        >\n        <button\n            type=\"button\"\n            id=\"accordion-labelledby-ffdbccb8-9fbe-4ff2-9760-73d616a9ca62\"\n            class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n            aria-expanded=\"false\"\n            aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-ffdbccb8-9fbe-4ff2-9760-73d616a9ca62\"\n            data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n            data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-ffdbccb8-9fbe-4ff2-9760-73d616a9ca62\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                                PANDEMIC            <\/span>\n\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-ffdbccb8-9fbe-4ff2-9760-73d616a9ca62\"\n        class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\"\n        aria-labelledby=\"accordion-labelledby-ffdbccb8-9fbe-4ff2-9760-73d616a9ca62\"\n        data-bs-parent=\"[data-reference=&quot;9ea395c8-be3c-47a5-9bb7-bef9b4fd0a63&quot;]\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"accordion__body \">\n            \n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list list-highlighted list-highlighted--architectural\"><li class=\"list-highlighted__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item\">\n    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-header\">\n    \n<h5 class=\"text-18 has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"start-date\"\n    >\nStart date<\/h5>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-bigtext\">\n    <span>\n        \n    <\/span>\n<\/div><\/header><div class=\"list-highlighted__body wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-body\">\n    <div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-free-content-area\">\n    \n<p>01\/04\/2020<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n\n<li class=\"list-highlighted__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item\">\n    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-header\">\n    \n<h5 class=\"text-18 has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"duration-in-months\"\n    >\nDuration in months<\/h5>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-bigtext\">\n    <span>\n        \n    <\/span>\n<\/div><\/header><div class=\"list-highlighted__body wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-body\">\n    <div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-free-content-area\">\n    \n<p>60<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/li>\n\n<li class=\"list-highlighted__item  wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item\">\n    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-header\">\n    \n<h5 class=\"text-18 has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"funding\"\n    >\nFunding<\/h5>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-bigtext\">\n    <span>\n        \n    <\/span>\n<\/div><\/header><div class=\"list-highlighted__body wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-body\">\n    <div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-highlighted-list-item-free-content-area\">\n    \n<p>8xav福利导航 of Luxembourg;
