Jones-Klenow well-being measure across countries

Constructed by Jones and Klenow (2016). Quote from their abstract:
We propose a summary statistic for the economic well-being of people in a country. Our measure incorporates consumption, leisure, mortality, and inequality, first for a narrow set of countries using detailed micro data, and then more broadly using multi-country datasets.
Data can be downloaded from the AER website.
