Prof. Dr. Christian Pfeifer (Institute of Economics, Leuphana University Lüneburg) has published jointly with Prof. Dr. Tim Friehe (University Marburg) a paper about “Unemployment’s Life-Satisfaction Cost and Loneliness” in the Journal of Happiness Studies (Volume 26, Issue 6, Article number 102). The authors show empirically that part of the negative effect of unemployment on life satisfaction is mediated by increased loneliness.
