Real GDP per capita (thousands of dollars, log scale)
Source: Gallup World Poll, 2006. Sources for GDP per capita are described in the text.
Notes: Questions were prefaced as follows: “Now, please think about yesterday, from the morning until the end of the day. Think about where you were, what you were doing, who you
were with, and how you felt.” Each observation represents one of up to 130 developed and developing countries in the sample (not asked in Iraq). Dashed lines are fitted from OLS
regressions of the percent agreeing with the statement on log real GDP per capita; dotted lines are fitted from lowess estimations. GDP per capita is at purchasing power parity in
constant 2000 international dollars.
