Tom Forth draws attention to the OECD's latest harmonised dataset on GDP per capita, adjusted for purchasing power parity. The update provides comparative economic data for countries and states, with the most recent figures from 2023.
Forth highlights the importance of using properly harmonised and PPP-adjusted statistics for economic analysis and policy comparison.
Forth has previously reviewed economic datasets and comparative pricing in other contexts. In a recent analysis, he found that office rents in Mountain View are nearly double those in Manchester and Leeds. He has also examined the features of a U.K. companies database with historic data and expanded KYC and AML services for financial firms.
