Published by Catherine on January 27, 2008 in Angus Maddison, China, East Asia, GDP per Capita, Income - Average, Median, India, Indonesia, Japan, Line Graph and United States. 4 Comments

I am comparing the GDP per Capita of the United States with Japan, India, China, and Indonesia over the last 500 years. (GDP per Capita for each country is in 1990 international Geary-Khamis dollars, calculated from purchasing power parities (PPPs) of currencies and average prices of commodities.)

Share of GDP: China, India, Japan, Latin America, Western Europe, United States

Published by Catherine on January 20, 2008 in Angus Maddison, Bar Chart, China, GDP, India, Japan, Latin America, United States, Western Europe and World. 8 Comments

After coming across this graph about the share of world GDP (China, India, and US), I started to wonder what was the percentage back to 1500? The graph below shows the share of GDP over the last 500 years for China, India, Japan, Latin America, Western Europe, and United States. (Keep in mind that the change in population size will effect the size of the GDP)

United States vs Great Britain (Revised)

Published by Catherine on December 30, 2007 in Angus Maddison, Bubble Chart, GDP per Capita, Income - Average, Median, Population, United Kingdom and United States. 6 Comments

I am revisiting my previous graph United States vs Great Britain: Income and Population since 1500. In my original graph, I placed population on the y-axis which emphasizes its dramatic growth in the US. In the new graph, I placed GDP per Capita on the y-axis which emphasizes the growth in income in both countries. Take a look below at both versions and let me know which you prefer:
