List of cities/conurbations/metropolitan areas by GDP

Is there any list on the GDP per capita of cities, conurbations or metropolitan areas? — Insta ntnood 09:32 Mar 7 2005 (UTC)

Would it be possible to feature the number of developing countries (and their population) by continent? I have not been able to find this information anywhere else. Thank you.

updates

I've recalculated data down to "Russia" on the list of countries by total GDP, someone else needs to complete this.

Tunisia

what about Tunisia?

Percent of Average

Recently, I have added the column for how many percent about the average a country is. However, the way I calculated the average was simplistic, taking the plain average of the values of the first column of the table. That average does not take into account the populations of the countries or the economic power of the countries. Coming up with a better way of calculating the average would be helpful. Given we are interested in the figures per capita, taking the populations of the countries as the weight for building a weighted average rather than plain average would probably be the best way to do it.

American abnormal GDP

A thing with much GDP per thing of an American is not what I can be proud of. A thing from each other G7 countries with many 5,000 dollars - 10,000 dollars is abnormal, too. An American of low wage includes it, too, and a number swells because I waste it borrowing money.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.145.14.86 (talk • contribs)

Equitoreal Guinea

GDP only 16,000, cia factbook says it is third with a gdp of 50,000, just type in cia factbook in google

Map is Incorrectly Labeled

The map indicates that the data is "US $". In fact, the IMF's PPP data is given in International $s. --Pandyora

Informations

Are bad. Poland has too low per capita, than in reality. Sad, people thinking misuse.

Yes, that's right. Poland has too low GDP per capita than it's really. It's $ 16,600. It should have been updated because some one would think that Poland is such a poor country like never. Please fix it and do not update the data from the earlier years which are outdated.

PPP is going to change on 2008

No one has mentioned that the ranking of PPP is going to change on 2008 so these results are going to be outdated, South America and Europe have yet given results without giving us international dollars.

By the other hand, where is the GNI PPP per capita World Bank ranking?... i guess it is a nice source http://siteresources.worldbank.org/DATASTATISTICS/Resources/GNIPC.pdf

EU figures must be included !!!!!

This is not "List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita"

As far as i can see, this page is about "GDP per capita by countries ", considering countries are listed alphabetically.85.102.162.226 (talk · contribs)

Iran - Turkey map colours

As numbers are indicating, Turkey ought to have been painted a darker colour than Iran.85.102.162.226 (talk · contribs)

Organized Terribly

Shouldn't this list be based on high to low? Not alphabetically? It's fun to look at countries and see their ranks... So why is it in alphabetical order? That's not a good idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Krajowandleap (talk • contribs) 00:42, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but to come with CIA or WB rank? We can maybe have a vote about should we organize it by rank. Rave92 (talk) 16:23, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it'd be better to have three independent columns, like on List of countries by GDP (PPP). --Anna Lincoln (talk) 12:12, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I completely second that. This system is badly broken. Oreo Priest ^talk 15:24, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So I did a bit of digging in the history, and it seems like CieloEstrellado changed it from that system, which works, to this sortable disaster in February of last year with no consensus or mention on the talk page. The data presentation was much, much better and much more clear with that system. I really think we should change it back. Thoughts? -Oreo Priest ^talk 15:37, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to sort (sic) out the sorting and it will more or less work on the rank columns now. However, I agree with everyone above as to what the best solution would be. Bagunceiro (talk) 13:32, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

CieloEstrellado doesn't like that, apparently. What was the problem? Bagunceiro (talk) 08:26, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great! CielEstreallado sorted it all out. Thanks! I put the images back in their traditional place; while it looked nice, if your resolution wasn't high enough, the article had a horizontal scrollbar. If their were some way to make a thumb size a fraction of the page width instead of a fixed number of pixels, it should work better. Either way, I look forward to seeing this for GDP nominal as well! -Oreo Priest ^talk 21:28, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Useless list

Trying to use these lists in this article is hopelessly hard. It would be much better to make a list like this: http://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verdas_land_etter_bruttonasjonalprodukt_per_innbyggjar or this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)... 83.108.208.23 (talk) 07:33, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The "Norsk" one needs an update :). It was already suggested. We can have some vote or something. Rave92 (talk) 09:00, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

IMF April 2009

These data were published yesterday (April 22). Also, the maps (IMF, CIA) need some updating. Congratulations for the great work, anyway (I read a lot of criticism for details, but actually a lot of credit is due to those who put together such great - continuously updated - articles). The availability of an on-line medium with such an amazing wealth of updated information is something we couldn't dream of, even a few years earlier; it is clearly a product of a lot of hard work which has to be appreciated.

IMF data for Brazil shown here looks wrong

The 2009 IMF data for Brazil shows per capita GDP as 10,325.796, a long way from the 38,830 shown here.
