We test the relationship between happiness and self-rated health in Italy. The
analysis relies on a unique dataset collected through the administration of a
questionnaire to a representative sample (n = 817) of the population of the
Italian Province of Trento in March 2011. Based on probit regressions and
instrumental variables estimates, we find that happiness is strongly correlated
with perceived good health, after controlling for a number of relevant
socio-economic phenomena. Health inequalities based on income, work status and
education are relatively contained with respect to the rest of Italy. As
expected, this scales down the role of social relationships.
