Definition: This entry gives the gross domestic product (GDP) or value of all final goods and services
produced within a nation in a given year. A nation's GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange
rates is the sum value of all goods and services produced in the country valued at prices prevailing in
the United States. This is the measure most economists prefer when looking at per-capita welfare and
when comparing living conditions or use of resources across countries. The measure is difficult to
compute, as a US dollar value has to be assigned to all goods and services in the country regardless
of whether these goods and services have a direct equivalent in the United States (for example, the
value of an ox-cart or non-US military equipment); as a result, PPP estimates for some countries are
based on a small and sometimes different set of goods and services. In addition, many countries do
not formally participate in the World Bank's PPP project that calculates these measures, so the
resulting GDP estimates for these countries may lack precision. For many developing countries, PPP-
based GDP measures are multiples of the official exchange rate (OER) measure. The difference
between the OER- and PPP-denominated GDP values for most of the weathly industrialized countries
are generally much smaller
