Carol Graham, Ph.D. has eight books and dozens of journal articles under her belt—a happy accomplishment, no doubt, for the internationally acclaimed economist who serves as the Leo Pasvolsky Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, University of Maryland School of Public Policy professor and research fellow at the Institute for the Study of Labor. But it is the subject of her research—well-being and quality of life—that is helping governments, organizations and individuals better understand the role happiness plays in commerce and everyday life. In September 2014, the International Society for Qualityof-Life Studies honored her with a Research Scholar of the Year award for “substantial contribution to quality-of-life research.” For her most recent book, e Pursuit of Happiness: An Economy of Well-Being (Brookings, 2011), Carol explored measurements of well-being across the globe and socioeconomic levels.
