Methodology: |
The total personal average income per capita is obtained from household budget surveys (such as the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey, the Netherlands Family Income and Expenditure Survey, the Swedish Household Budget Survey, etc) and converted in international dollars using the IMF PPP exchange rates [d] adjusted with the U.S. inflation rate. This reflects the personal purchasing power worldwide that would be obtained in 2005 in the U.S. Unless otherwise noted, the income excludes owner-imputed rent and includes non-monetary income of self-supplied goods and services.
