I have patiently pointed out that yes, "Per Capita GDP" is indeed different in the sense that one can define it precisely unlike "median GDP". Nathan Tankus said it very well earlier in the thread in case my own explanation was unclear. I have also explicitly and painstakenly pointed out that my query here is a narrow technical one. I think I made it very clear that I was not, repeat NOT, arguing that "per capital GDP" was a useful or meaningful number. I see you now arguing that narrow technical discussions have no place on PEN-L. Either that or you are asking me to defend a claim that I never made. -raghu. > > > On Mar 20, 2016, at 10:16 AM, raghu <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On Sun, Mar 20, 2016 at 12:08 AM, nathan tankus wrote: > > "I am afraid I am still confused.
