Update (11 January 2005): A new dynamic table with 2004 GDP-PPP and population data is now available in GDP Rankings of the Americas: 2004 Edition!
Previously, I put together a dynamic table that would allow you to sort individual U.S. states according to their 2002 Gross State Product (GSP), the state equivalent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Today, we're expanding into the Western Hemisphere, looking at the GDP, population and GDP per capita of the independent nations of North America, South America, Central America and the Carribbean. Unlike the previous exercise however, the GDP data has been adjusted for each country's Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), which takes into account how much an individual can buy within a country along with the currency exchange rate between the individual country's currency and the U.S. dollar.
As with Political Calculations(TM) U.S. Gross State Product table, you may rank the data either from least to greatest or greatest to least in the table below by clicking the individual column heads:
