GDP per capita
The GDP dollar estimates given on this page are adjusted for inflation. The term Constant Prices refers to a metric for valuing the price of something over time, without that metric changing due to inflation or deflation. The gross domestic product per capita is the value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year divided by the average (or mid-year) population for the same year. The gross domestic product (GDP) is one of the measures of national income and output for a given country's economy. GDP can be defined in three ways, all of which are conceptually identical. First, it is equal to the total expenditures for all final goods and services produced within the country in a stipulated period of time (usually a 365-day year). Second, it is equal to the sum of the value added at every stage of production (the intermediate stages) by all the industries within a country, plus taxes less subsidies on products, in the period. Third, it is equal to the sum of the income generated by production in the country in the period—that is, compensation of employees, taxes on production and imports less subsidies, and gross operating surplus (or profits).
