Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)
  • This is the Purchasing Power Parity adjustment
    for the countries of the world as of 2003. The
    U.S. economy is used as a reference or benchmark,
    so that country is set at 100. Bermuda has the
    highest index value, 154, thus goods sold there
    are more expensive than in the United States.

HDI Human Development Index
HDI ranks countries by level of development. The
HDI value is composed of the following data life
expectancy at birth, mean years of schooling,
expected years of schooling, and income index or
GDP per capita. The higher the value, the more
developed the country.

The Gini Index
  • Differences in national income equality around
    the world are measured by the national Gini
    coefficient. The Gini coefficient is a number
    between 0 and 1, where 0 corresponds with perfect
    equality (where everyone has the same income) and
    1 corresponds with perfect inequality (where one
    person has all the income, and everyone else has
    zero income). The Gini Index does not measure
    levels of povertyit measures a countrys the
    distribution of wealth.
