How this figure is calculated
Land use hidden — Total area divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Land use hidden — Total area ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Land use hidden — Total area Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
