Dataset

The Statistical Abstract files are distributed by the US Census Department as Microsoft Excel files. These files have data mixed with notes and references, multiple tables per sheet, and, worst of all, the table headers are not easily matched to their rows and columns.

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.

The tables that were changed (this is table 1316):

0166 0257 0362 0429 0445 0446 0459 0461 0462 0464 0465 0466 0467
0469 0479 0480 0481 0482 0483 0484 0485 0486 0487 0559 0628 0629
1144 1227 1231

This dataset consists of a table of 43 rows and 30 columns.

16,489 represents $16,489,000,000,000. PPP stands for purchasing power parity. Except as noted, based on the System of National Accounts, 1993; for details, see source

Footnotes

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.
