Talk:List of countries by future GDP (PPP) per capita estimates

Burma
There is Myanmar/Burma disorder in the table (not sorted well). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.65.228.42 (talk) 09:55, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I think a ranking of current status will provide a better view about the estimates. Anyway i've created a column for ranking(Nubin_wiki 15:12, 26 September 2007 (UTC))

USA
Why is the American GDP per capita decreasing after 2008? Is this a mistake, an anti-American statement, or some nutty doomsday scinetist's little joke? Just wondering, (209.7.171.66 22:35, 25 October 2007 (UTC))

Future Years?
What's this bull about expected GDP in the next few years? Economists have enough trouble predicting the next month! Just include the past few years. Are we an encyclopedia or crystal ball gazers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.221.31.30 (talk) 03:44, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

ireland
ireland should not be where its at because it is the next greece. also the usa, and britain shouldnt be where its at either. theyre supposed to go into hyper inflation and just collapse —Preceding unsigned comment added by KAZ4541 (talk • contribs) 17:48, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Please Get Rid of This Article
I agree with the above "Future Years?" author. These future economic predictions are just crystal ball predictions and therefore should not be in Wikipedia.

If we want really want to keep them here, at least take the numbers down to 2 or 3 significant figures. Predicting "47,701.806" dollars of GDP per citizen for next year is just ridiculous. (I understand that these came from the IMF website, but really one could only be confident to within maybe 0.5% for the current year (which would be fairly bold, taken in April), and progressing to maybe 30% for 5 years into the future?).

Sure, include this list if you want to. But perhaps we should at least put a warning at the top that this list is basically someone's opinion, with a description of (or links to) the method and thinking used. Still, in that case, this list would basically be the IMF's original research. But it could be interesting, with more backup.

I think it is highly unfair that this article has the prerogative of the title of "List of Countries by FUTURE GDP PER CAPITE" when it is only a forecast of the IMF. There are already other wikipages of forecasts (for example the one of Hausmann and Hidalgo, using the Economic Complexity Index), and I see no reason why the IMF forecast should be the "official". I suggest that both (or other forecasts that maybe there) should be included in the category of lists of economies, and if you put this title page it should take you to a disambiguation between these articles. 76.119.233.158 (talk) 20:13, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
