Talk:List of countries by real GDP per capita growth

This article does not state over which time period. Also the statement "This shows for instance that the average increase in standard of living of the US lies below the EU average" sounds like POV-pushing to me and is therefore problematic. -- Cabalamat 22:12, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Wow, no source, no time period. I removed the POV language, but given how high this page pops up in a Google search it really should be sourced! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.65.71.174 (talk) 14:08, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

This page is useless

It seems to document the growth for just the year of 2007. This is not a useful number for cross-border comparisons, because growth fluctuates strongly according to economic cycles, and each country is on a different part of the cycle.

A ten year period would be far better. I've tried to find data but with no success. Does anyone know a source?

Would it be considered original research if we used two different sources and divided the numbers by each other?

Duplicate Page

According to the source, The CIA's World Factbook, this is a table of GDP - real growth rate (%) but not adjusted for population growth. This is a poor duplicate of List of countries by GDP (real) growth rate and should be merged with it.

It's not now a duplicate. Spacepotato (talk) 01:52, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Then what the heck is it? Sbw01f (talk) 04:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

It's a list of countries by the growth rate of GDP per capita, i.e., the growth rate of P/N, where P is the GDP and N is the population. By the way, your speedy deletion tag on this page was inappropriate, as being a duplicate is not a criterion for speedy deletion. Spacepotato (talk) 08:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

South Africa

On looking at the article: South Africa, it's GDP per capita hasnt increased since the fall of apartheid and this year it went down by $3,000!, should it be put in negative numbers? --Bezuidenhout (talk) 12:19, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Not Real GDP

Hi. This is Nominal GDP, not Real GDP. --95.24.70.126 (talk) 16:28, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
