Alternative GDP Per Capita PPP, WB

GDP per capita based on purchasing power parity (PPP). PPP GDP is gross domestic product converted to international dollars using purchasing power parity rates. An international dollar has the same purchasing power over GDP as the U.S. dollar has in the United States. GDP at purchaser's prices is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. Data are in constant 2011 international dollars.

HOW TO JOIN WITH METADATA

• Concepts (labels/units)
– Use the concept id alternative_gdp_per_capita_ppp_wb to look up labels and units in @gapminder.metadata.concepts.
SELECT * FROM @gapminder.metadata.concepts WHERE concept = 'alternative_gdp_per_capita_ppp_wb'.

• Countries and names
– Join your datapoints on geo to @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_country to get readable country/area names
(e.g., name) and membership attributes such as world_4region, income_groups.

• Regions and other group labels
– After you have a region code from the country table (e.g., world_4region),
you can join to:
· @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_world_4region on world_4region → region names/colors/shapes
· @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_world_6region on world_6region → region names
· @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_income_groups on income_groups → income group names

Example:
SELECT d.time,
c.name AS country,
d.alternative_gdp_per_capita_ppp_wb AS value
FROM @gapminder.alternative_gdp_per_capita_ppp_wb.alternative_gdp_per_capita_ppp_wb_by_geo_time d
LEFT JOIN @gapminder.metadata.entities_geo_country c ON d.geo = c.country;
