How this figure is calculated
Gross Domestic Product, GDP in millions constant 2021 international $ at PPP (ILO modelled estimates) 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.
Gross Domestic Product, GDP in millions constant 2021 international $ at PPP (ILO modelled estimates) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Gross Domestic Product, GDP in millions constant 2021 international $ International Labour Organization
- 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.
