Abstract
⺠The widely documented U shaped relationship between life satisfaction and age depends on untestable assumptions. ⺠We exactly identify the assumptions needed to support this finding. ⺠These assumptions are: a negative linear time trend and the absence of a linear trend across birth cohorts. ⺠The widely documented U shaped relationship between life satisfaction and age should not be taken for a fact.
