Real GDP per capita (thousands of dollars, log scale).
Sources: Pew Global Attitudes Survey, 2002. Sources for GDP per capita are described in the text.
Notes: Sample includes forty-four developed and developing countries. Respondents are shown a picture of a ladder with ten steps and asked, “Here is a ladder representing the ‘ladder of
life.’ Let's suppose the top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you; and the bottom, the worse possible life for you. On which step of the ladder do you feel you personally stand
at the present time?” Data are aggregated into a satisfaction index by running an ordered probit regression of satisfaction on country fixed effects. Dashed line is fitted from an OLS
regression; dotted lines are fitted from lowess regressions. Real GDP per capita is at purchasing power parity in constant 2000 international dollars.
