I read an HBR research that discovered an interesting link between the happiness and long term investment tendency of a firm. While it sounds intuitive (as most of the research results) I would be interested in it's application - should a city (company) invest more to become happier or should it first work on being happy to attract more investment.
"Companies located in places with happier people invest more, according to a recent paper by Tuugi Chuluun of Loyola University Maryland and Carol Graham of Brookings. In particular, firms in happy places spend more on R&D. That’s because happiness, they argue, is linked to the kind of longer term thinking necessary for making investments for the future."
