Cheerful teenagers are likely to earn more money after attaining adulthood, finds study.
The study, carried out by Professor Andrew Oswald, of Britain's Warwick University, and Jan-Emmanuel De Neve of University College, is the first in-depth investigation into the role happiness plays in future earnings.

The academics' findings are due to be presented at the Royal Economic Society's annual conference at the University of Cambridge.
