Abstract: Happiness represents, starting from the ancient times, the main goal of any individual. Despite de boom of the life satisfaction literature from the last decades, a still not very exploited issue is the relationship between capital markets and life satisfaction due to the difficulty of collecting aggregate information at high frequency. To overcome such difficulty we use the hedonometer’s data set generated by Twitter’s feed and daily values of S$P500 and VIX. The results show an important correlation between capital market evolutions and Happiness Index.
