| Resumen: | This report describes the key results of the 2011 International Comparison Program (ICP) and analyses the interaction between the real sizes of GDP for 177 economies with the relative price levels for major aggregates and per capita expenditures based on their population sizes. The results indicate that only a small number of economies have the greatest shares of world GDP. However, the shares of large economies such as China and India have more than doubled relative to that of the United States. The spread of per capita actual individual consumption as a percentage of that of the United States has been greatly reduced, suggesting that the world has become more equal. However, this reduction in the spread must be interpreted with caution because changes in the ICP methodology and country coverage make it difficult to make direct comparisons with previous benchmark results. |
