|
Expenditure-side real GDP at current PPPs, to compare relative living standards across countries at a single point in time
|
Initial level in growth regressions requiring relative living standards
|
|
|

|
Initial level in growth regressions requiring productive capacity or productivity
|
|
|
Expenditure-side real GDP at chained PPPs, to compare relative living standards across countries and over time
|
Living standards of China today compared to the US at some point in the past
|
|
|
Output-side real GDP at chained PPPs, to compare relative productive capacity across countries and over time
|
Productive capacity of China today compared to the US at some point in the past
|
|
|
