How this figure is calculated
Charges for the use of intellectual property, payments (BoP, current US$) divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Charges for the use of intellectual property, payments (BoP, current US$) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Charges for the use of intellectual property, payments Balance of Payments Statistics Yearbook and data files, International Monetary Fund (IMF)
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
