ANALYSIS OF WELL-BEING IN OECD COUNTRIES THROUGH STATIS METHODOLOGY

Abstract

This paper presents the main concepts and results of a Master thesis in Data Analysis which aims to analyze the evolution of some developed countries and also of some emerging countries that are members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in what concerns some indicators or variables of well-being during the period 2011-2015, through the STATIS (Structuring Three-way data sets in Statistics) methodology. This methodology allows to analyze the presence of a common structure in several data tables obtained over time, to identify the differences and similarities along the period of time under study and according to well-being indicators included in the "Your Better Life Index" of the OECD, and to analyze the trajectories of the countries.
