Cumulative change in real GDP per capita (percent)

Source: World Values Surveys, waves I (1981-84), II (1989-93), III (1994-99), and IV (1999-2004). Sources for GDP per capita are described in the text.

Notes: Round dots show changes in life satisfaction and real GDP per capita between various waves of the World Values Survey; hollow squares reflect changes based on noncomparable
sampling frames (see appendix B). Dashed lines show the fit from the reported OLS regression of changes in the life satisfaction index on the percent change in GDP, based only on
comparable changes in life satisfaction. Graphs in the first row show nineteen, ten, and seventeen comparable short first differences, and those in the second row twenty-five, thirty-two, and
thirty-three long first differences. GDP per capita is at purchasing power parity in constant 2000 international dollars.
