This thesis examines the correlations between adspend and economic growth, the happiness index and the income inequality coefficient. The analysis is based on 31 countries between 2005 and 2019. We used the Pearson correlation coefficient to confirm or refute our hypothesis, which were that adspend is in correlation with the GDP, that adspend is in correlation with the unhappiness of the population and that adspend correlates with the income inequality coefficient. To evaluate the hypothesis we developed two measurements. For the first measurement we divide adspend with the population and for the second measurement we calculated adspend as a percentage of GDP. The two measurements were analysed in relation to the selected observation units in SPSS. Based on statistical analyses, we sought correlations and categorized them into unified groups. The conclusions of the analysis were; adspend corresponds with the GDP, adspend does not correspond with the unhappiness of a country and that there were correlations between adspend and the income inequality ratio.
