Time window is 2005 - 2014, we use 77 countries grouped into 10 categories in the World Values Survey database. We investigate the effect of different independent variables at the individual level, either sociodemographic (age, gender, marital status), sociological-cultural (religiosity-secularity, adherence to liberal - democratic values) or economic (occupational status, educational level, relative income) on subjective well-being.  Results indicate that variables linked to the temperature of social ties have a sizeable effect on subjective well-being. Furthermore, the association between economic development and subjective well-being is relatively weak. In particular, Latin America shows a very high level of subjective well-being ceteris paribus (despite intermediate economic development), which may be partly accounted for by the contributions of classical sociology.  El presente trabajo se propone analizar algunos posibles determinantes socia-les y económicos del bienestar subjetivo, incorporando los aportes de la soció-logos clásicos como Durkheim y TÁ¶nnies referidos a las tensiones entre la mo-dernización-desarrollo, por un lado, la temperatura de los lazos sociales, por el otro, y su impacto en el bienestar subjetivo. El marco temporal es el período 2005-2014 y se toman 77 países agrupados en 10 categorías, a partir de la base de datos de la World Values Survey. Indagamos el efecto de diversas va-riables independientes a nivel individual, algunas sociodemográficas (edad, género, estado civil), otras sociológico-culturales (como por ejemplo la religiosi-dad-secularidad o la adscripción a valores liberal-democráticos) y otras econó-micas (condición de actividad, nivel educativo, ingreso relativo) sobre el bienes-tar subjetivo. Los resultados indican que las variables ligadas a la temperatura de los lazos sociales tienen un efecto considerable sobre el bienestar subjetivo. Por otra parte, la asociación entre el desarrollo económico y el bienestar subje-tivo es relativamente débil. En particular, Latinoamérica presenta un nivel de bienestar subjetivo muy elevado ceteris paribus (a pesar de un desarrollo eco-nómico intermedio) lo que puede ser en parte explicado a partir de los aportes de la teoría sociológica clásica. application/pdf https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/CIMBAGE/article/view/1181 spa CIMBAGE - IADCOM - Facultad de Ciencias Económicas - Universidad de Buenos Aires https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/CIMBAGE/article/view/1181/1790 Cuadernos del CIMBAGE; Vol. 1 No. 20 (2018): Cuadernos del CIMBAGE; 13-49 Cuadernos del CIMBAGE; Vol. 1 Núm. 20 (2018): Cuadernos del CIMBAGE; 13-49 1669-1830 1666-5112 bienestar subjetivo felicidad desarrollo económico América Latina subjective well-being happiness economic development Latin America Relation between development, social ties and subjective well-being La relación entre desarrollo, lazos sociales y bienestar subjetivo info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cimbage&d=1181_oai
