Abstract
In the well-known publication ‘World Product and Income’, Kravis, Heston and Summers (1982) showed figures for the real incomes per capita for various groups of countries (p. 343); since that time they have updated and extended these estimates. The most recent ones are presented in UNDP’s Human Development Report 1992 (pp. 178 and 197). The relevant figures for this essay are repeated in Table 8.1, together with some figures derived from them.
