Notes: PPP estimates <strong>of</strong> GNP per capita are calculated by converting GNP to US dollars using the<br />
purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rate instead <strong>of</strong> the market exchange rate. The resulting<br />
estimates are expressed in international dollars, a unit <strong>of</strong> account that has the same purchasing power<br />
in each economy as the US dollar has in the US economy. World Development Report 1999/2000.
