Authors : Mekhzoumi Lotfi .

Abstract

This study aims to measure the impact of happiness determinants and governance indicators on quality of life in the Arab countries for the period 2005-2021, using the econometric estimate of panel models. The study concluded that there was a positive impact of GDP per capita on the quality of life, while social support had a negative impact on the quality of life. The indicators of governance, political stability and absence of violence/terrorism and government effectiveness had a positive impact on the quality of life in the Arab countries, while the rest of the independent variables of the study were statistically insignificant.
