A Response To Another Attempt To Move Beyond The Cross-Sectional U Shape of Happiness: A Reply By Galambos, Krahn, Johnson And Lachman (2021)

Abstract

David G Blanchflower, Bruce V Rauner. Professsor of Economics

This is a reply to GKJL2’s response to the Blanchflower and Gra- ham – henceforth BG -response to Galambos et al original paper on this topic (GKJL1) [1, 2]. As such, this paper is a point-by-point response to GKJL2 (2021). This review aims to highlight errors in most of the points raised, as well as a very large difference in views on what is appropriate statistical analysis and inference. There is absolutely nothing here to challenge BG’s argument that the evi- dence for a U-shape is ‘overwhelming’.
