Humour, Misery and Penguins

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This study examines the relationship between economic downturns and the number of economics related caricatures in popular humour magazines. To this end, caricatures from editions of the weekly humour magazine Penguen from 2007 to 2011 were collected and categorised and the Misery Index of Turkey was compiled using data from TURKSTAT. It was found that there is a statistically significant relationship between the Misery Index and the number of economics related caricatures in humour magazines.
