One of the most important issues to face in measuring and monitoring quality of life through complex indicators is stability and change (well-being dynamics). Generally, studies on change and stability may have different objectives, such as - describing detailed patterns of change, - predicting change values from those obtained in the past, - obtaining insight into underlying causal processes In order to attain these goals, measuring and analysis of change require two aspects to be carefully and systematically considered: 1. theoretical, concerning the definition and conceptualization of change 2. methodological, concerning: (i) design, (ii) measuring procedures, and (iii) data analysis. Papers will focus on this particular issue, crucial in monitoring societal well-being also in policy perspective.
