Comparing share of wealth by region/countries

Published on February 10, 2008 in Africa, Americas, Asia, China, Europe, India, Pie chart and Wealth - Share of. 1 Comment

Instead of income this graph focuses on personal net worth. I found the pie chart at Metrics 2.0, depicting the share of personal wealth by region in 2000.

Regional wealth share

Average wealth amounted to $144,000 per person in the USA in year 2000, and $181,000 in Japan. Lower down among countries with wealth data are India, with per capita assets of $1,100, and Indonesia with $1,400 per capita.

Income of United States, Japan, India, China, and Indonesia since 1500

Published on January 27, 2008 in Angus Maddison, China, East Asia, GDP per Capita, Income - Average, Median, India, Indonesia, Japan, Line Graph and United States. 5 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.)

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)

This graph shows the dramatic change in population over the last 500 years in China, India, Africa, Latin America, Western Europe, and United States. (Note: the dip in 1950 of India’s population was due to the partitioning of India creating Pakistan.)
