Gross Domestic Product in Current and Constant (2000) Price Levels by Country: 1990 to 2004 (Statistical Abstract 2008 Table 1316)

The Statistical Abstract files are distributed by the census department as excel files. These files have data mixed with notes and references, multiple tables per sheet, and worst of all the table headers aren’t easily matched to their rows and columns.
The excel files in this collection are unmolested copies of the census originals, with the following exceptions:

1. A few files had extraneous characters in the title. These were
   corrected to be consistent. A few files have a sheet of crufty
   gibberish in the first slot. The sheet order was shuffled but no
   data were changed.

1. The first four files have been restructured to allow full
   comprehension of the table. If you’d like to help clean up the data
   follow along with what’s there.

The CSV files, and the payload portions of the yaml files, have not been processed beyond extracting an array (excel sheets) of 2-D arrays (each sheet’s cells).

Some metadata (title, footnotes, symbols, and sources) has been copied (without molesting the imported stream) into the appropriate slot in this schema. This metadata identification was purposefully done to be strict and simple, and the original files are somewhat irregular, so it’s possible that some metadata fields were missed

These files have been tagged by hand and received cursory inspection, but you’re advised to check against the originals before you go lauching any Mars rovers.

Notes (pg 2)

1. The goods and services produced in different countries should be valued
   consistently if the differences observed are meant to reflect real
   differences in the volumes of goods and services produced. The use of
   purchasing power parities (PPPs) instead of exchange rates is intended to
   achieve this objective. PPPs show how many units of currency are needed
   in one country to buy the same amount of goods and services which one
   unit of currency will buy in the other country. See text of this section.
2. Based on constant (2000) price data converted to U.S. dollars using
   2000 PPPs.
3. Excluding Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia.
4. OECD Europe: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
   Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway,
   Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom.
   European Union: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland,
   Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and United Kingdom.
   Euro zone: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland,
   Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain.
   Major seven (G-7): United States, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, United
   Kingdom, and Japan.
5. Includes overseas departments.
6. Based on System of National Accounts, 1968.

[16,489 represents $16,489,000,000,000. PPP stands for purchasing power parity.
