Context

This dataset provides country-level GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in current US dollars from 2000 to 2025, mapped to the seven classic continents (Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica). It is designed to make global economic data easier to explore, compare, and visualize by combining both geographic and temporal dimensions.

GDP is one of the most widely used indicators to measure the size of an economy, its growth trends, and relative economic performance across regions.

ABOUT

The Global GDP Per Capita Dataset provides a comprehensive record of annual economic output per person across various countries and regions. It includes key economic indicators such as GDP per capita (adjusted for inflation and purchasing power parity), country codes, and yearly data points. This dataset is valuable for economists, researchers, policymakers, and analysts interested in studying economic growth, income distribution, and global development trends.

Key features of the dataset:

✅ Covers multiple countries and regions worldwide
✅ Provides annual GDP per capita data from 1990 to 2023
✅ Adjusted for inflation and purchasing power parity (PPP, constant 2021$)
✅ Sourced from the World Bank - World Development Indicators
✅ Useful for economic analysis, policy-making, and financial forecasting

This dataset serves as a crucial resource for understanding global economic trends, comparing living standards across nations, and making data-driven decisions in economic research and policy development.

FILE INFORMATION

The dataset consists of structured records related to GDP per capita, compiled from the World Bank’s World Development Indicators (WDI). Each file contains country-level economic data, including GDP per capita values in constant 2021 international dollars (PPP). This allows researchers, economists, and data analysts to study economic growth patterns and trends over time. The file type is CSV.

COLUMNS DESCRIPTION

• Entity – The country or region name.
• Code – The country code (ISO Alpha-3 format or OWID custom code) [NOTE : missing value if there is no ISO Alpha-3 code].
• Year – The year of the GDP observation (1990–2023).
• GDP per capita (PPP, 2021$) – The economic output per person, adjusted for inflation and cost of living.

This dataset provides valuable insights into economic trends over three decades, helping researchers analyze global income levels, economic development, and policy impacts.

Gross domestic product is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period. It can be measured in three different ways: using either the expenditure approach, the income approach, or the production approach. This indicator denotes the percentage change over each previous year of the constant price (base year 2015) series in United States dollars.

Germany DE: GDP: Growth: Household Final Consumption Expenditure per Capita data is updated yearly, averaging 1.355 % from Dec 1971 (Median) to 2023, with 53 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 5.289 % in 1971 and a record low of -5.930 % in 2020. Germany DE: GDP: Growth: Household Final Consumption Expenditure per Capita data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank.

Description: This dataset includes key global development indicators collected from the World Bank database. It covers country-level annual data on: - Gross Domestic Product (GDP, current US$) - Population - Poverty headcount ratio at national poverty line (% of population) - Natural Resource Rents (% of GDP)

Objective: This project investigates how major global crises — specifically the 2008 Financial Crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic — influenced GDP across countries. The study also explores how structural factors like population size, poverty levels, and natural resource dependence relate to total GDP and GDP per capita.

Key Research Questions: - How did GDP respond to the 2008 and COVID-19 crises across different regions? - What is the relationship between population and GDP versus GDP per capita? - How do poverty rates correlate with national income? - Does natural resource rent (as a share of GDP) positively or negatively relate to economic performance?

Methods Used: - Descriptive statistics and trend analysis - Econometric modeling (linear regression, fixed effects models) - Interaction analysis (e.g., poverty × population) - Visualization using ggplot2

This map contains Gross Domestic Product - the total value of goods produced and services provided - by country, per capita in 2016, expressed in 2016 US Dollars. Expressing the GDP in "per capita" terms allows for better comparisons across countries. Total GDP is available in an accompanying map. GDP as a measure has been largely criticized as an incomplete measure of productivity and wealth, as it does not take into account production in the informal economy, quality of life, degradation to the environment, or income distribution. However, GDP is an internationally comparable measure, used in everything from banks setting interest rates to political campaign speeches.Source: World Bank, World Development Indicators.
