'Gross world product' (GWP) is the total
gross national product of all the
countries in the world. This also equals the total
gross domestic product. See
measures of national income and output for more details. The
per capita GWP in 2000 was approximately $7,200
US dollars (USD).
[1] The
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in their Third Assessment Report (TAR), predicts a maximum gross world per-capita in 2100 of approximately $140,000 (in year 2000 dollars). The IPCC reports a survey of "economic literature" as providing a maximum value of approximately $110,000 (2000 USD).
