    Abstract

    This note considers the effect of changes on the well-being of US residents owing to changes in the value of various financial assets. Ordinary least squares estimates reveal that equity market returns have a significant and asymmetric, impact on the well-being. This result is likely the result of a wealth effect whereby rising (falling) stock markets increase (decrease) the ability to meet basic needs and this contributes to a shifting assessment of life-situation and overall well-being.
