description_key_attribution: The Maddison Project Database is based on the work of many researchers who have produced estimates of economic growth and population for individual countries. The full list of sources for this historical data is given in [the original dataset](https://dataverse.nl/api/access/datafile/421302).
description_key_gdp: Gross domestic product (GDP) is a measure of the total value added from the production of goods and services in a country or region each year.
description_key_gdp_per_capita: GDP per capita is GDP divided by population.
description_key_long_run: This indicator provides information on economic growth and income levels in the _very long run_. Some country estimates are available as far back as 1 CE, and regional estimates as far back as 1820 CE.
description_key_ppp_adjustment: This data is adjusted for inflation and for differences in living costs between countries.
description_key_ppp_prices: This data is expressed in [international-$](#dod:int_dollar_abbreviation) at 2011 prices, using a combination of 2011 and 1990 PPPs for historical data.
description_key_former: Time series for former countries and territories are calculated forward in time by estimating values based on their last official borders.

description_short_gdp: Total economic output of a country or region per year.
description_short_gdp_per_capita: Average economic output per person in a country or region per year.

The data presented here from 1990 onwards is from the World Bank. Data before 1990 is constructed using the 1990 World Bank observation and applying the growth rates implied by the Maddison Project Database. Similarly, data before 1820 is built using the adjusted 1820 estimate calculated by the previous method and applying the growth rates implied by the Maddison Database. These steps are necessary because World Bank data adjusted for inflation and the cost of living between countries is only available from 1990 onwards and also because the three datasets estimate GDP with different prices.

The adjusted results before 1990 have been rounded to address uncertainty in the underlying data. GDP data is rounded to the nearest million, and GDP is rounded to the nearest hundred.

gni: Gross national income (GNI) is a measure of the total income earned by residents of a country or region each year. It is calculated as GDP plus net income received from abroad, plus taxes (minus subsidies) on production.

ppp_adjustment: This data is adjusted for inflation and for differences in living costs between countries.
ppp_prices: This data is expressed in [international-$](#dod:int_dollar_abbreviation) at 2017 prices.

For several countries without a value of GNI per capita in constant 2017 PPP terms for 20 22 reported in the World Development Indicators database, real growth rates of GDP per capita available in the World Development Indicators database or in the International Monetary Fund's Economic Outlook database are applied to the most recent GNI values in constant PPP terms.

Official PPP conversion rates are produced by the International Comparison Program, whose surveys periodically collect thousands of prices of matched goods and services in many countries. The last round of this exercise refers to 2017 and covered 176 economies.
