However, no single, agreed upon scheme exists for placing countries into these three categories. For example, even the World Bank and International Monetary Fund do not always agree on how to categorize economies.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In creating our economic classification of the 40 countries in our survey, we relied on multiple sources and criteria. Specifically, we were guided by World Bank income classifications; classifications of emerging markets by other multinational organizations, such as the International Monetary Fund; per-capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP); total size of the country\u2019s economy, as measured by GDP; and average GDP growth rate over the past 10 years.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a table that outlines the countries that fall into each of the three categories. The table includes for each country the World Bank income classification, the GDP per capita based on purchasing power parity (PPP), the GDP in current prices and average GDP growth rate over the past 10 years.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2016\/02\/22\/appendix-a-4\/technology-report-appa-01\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-35151\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-35151\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/02\/Technology-Report-AppA-01.png\" alt=\"Economic categorization\" ><\/a><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Economic categorization For this report we grouped countries into three economic categories: \u201cadvanced,\u201d \u201cemerging\u201d and \u201cdeveloping.\u201d These categories are fairly common in specialized and popular discussions and are helpful for analyzing how public attitudes vary with economic circumstances.
