Abstract: Se estima la probabilidad conjunta de ser feliz y tener buena salud controlando el efecto de características económicas, sociales y demográficas. Se estimó un modelo probit bivariado empleando datos de la encuesta World Values Survey para Argentina en 1995 y 2006. Los resultados indican que la probabilidad de tener buena salud y de ser feliz incrementa a medida que lo hace el nivel socioeconómico y el nivel de confianza en las instituciones por parte de los individuos. Se concluye que es posible incrementar la salud y el bienestar subjetivo de las personas en desventaja socioeconómica fortaleciendo el capital social. ***** The probability of being happy and maintaining good health is influenced by economic, social, and demographic characteristics. A bivariate probit model is estimated using data from the World Values Survey for Argentina in 1995 and 2006. The results show that the probability of being healthy and happy increases with the socioeconomic status of individuals, as well as the confidence level in institutions. It is concluded that it is possible to positively affect the health and well-being of people disadvantaged socially and economically by encouraging and promoting policies which foster the strengthening of social capital.
