How this figure is calculated
Gross value added at basic prices (GVA) (constant LCU) 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 value added at basic prices (GVA) (constant LCU) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Gross value added at basic prices (GVA) Country official statistics, National Statistical Offices (NSOs)
- 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.
