Long abstract
GDP per Capita Volume Indices Based on Constant and on Current PPPs in OECD's Main Economic Indicators (MEI) - Note to the MEI Table: PPPs and Derived Indices for all OECD Countries
Until now the MEI table presented only one option: per capita volume indices using current PPPs. However, it was felt that, for analytical purposes and for a better comprehension of published data both options should be shown. This follows the practice in other OECD statistical publications, in particular Volume I of the Annual National Accounts. |
