This chapter synthesises the findings presented in the book. It highlights the success in developing a methodology that can analyse satisfaction along the lines similar to those used by econometricians to analyse ‘objective’ variables. Future research should focus on developing methods that can estimate decision-utility functions for other domains, the relevance of the neoclassical equilibrium assumption, and the importance of collaborating with sister disciplines.
Keywords: satisfaction, decision-utility function, neoclassical equilibrium, social science, economics,
