Definitions: The World Bank calculates per capita GNP in current US$ using the 
"Atlas method" that it developed. The Atlas Method attempts to smooth fluctuations
in prices and exchange rates. Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) data is expressed in 
current US$, based on the national currency total converted to international dollars
by the purchasing power for those expenditures. This comparison of quantities for 
expenditures is based on the common set of international prices applied across all 
the countries in the International Price Comparison Project.

[a] 1992 figure looks suspiciously high, especially given that the Atlas figures 
were $2820 in 1989, $3270 in 1990, and $3970 in 1991.
[b] Haiti figure is for 1991.
