Database Specific
Database Specific Abstract AbstractPlease note that this dataset is discontinued. Annual statistics on level of GDP per capita and its components are available at Level of GDP per capita and its components.
This dataset presents gross domestic product per capita broken down in its components for one year. Productivity and income levels are calculated using GDP at current prices and converted in USD using 2012 Purchasing Power Parities. Estimates of productivity levels and GDP per capital are computed with variables such as GDP per head of population, GDP per hour worked, gap in labour utilization with respect to the US, gap in GDP per capita, gap in GDP per hour worked. Data are available for the year 2012.
Estimates of productivity levels are more uncertain than estimates of productivity growth; therefore, those measures should be interpreted with caution.

The effect of labour utilization is calculated as the difference between per capita GDP and per hour worked GDP with respect to the United States.

Concepts & Classifications Concepts & Classifications Key statistical concept Key statistical conceptUnderlying series of GDP are from OECD, Annual National Accounts and converted in current USD using 2012 Purchasing Power Parities. The differences in income levels can de decomposed into the differences in labour productivity levels and in the extent of labour utilisation.
