The World Bank classifies countries into high income, upper middle income, lower middle income and low income groups. In general, we categorized countries that are considered high income as advanced economies; countries that are considered upper middle income as emerging markets; and countries that are considered lower middle or low income as developing economies.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, we used the absolute size of the economy as well as the relative wealth per capita to determine whether the emerging markets and developing economies were classified correctly. To categorize emerging markets, we set a general cutoff point for 2012 gross domestic product (GDP), current prices at $300 billion U.S. dollars. Using this cutoff, Indonesia was recategorized as an emerging market and Lebanon, Tunisia and Jordan were recategorized as developing economies. While Chile does not quite meet the $300 billion cutoff, the country\u2019s 2012 per capita wealth based on purchasing power parity is the highest among the upper middle income countries. Given this, we categorized Chile as an emerging market.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, we cross-referenced our coding of the countries against expert classifications, such as the International Monetary Fund.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a table which outlines the countries that fall into each of the three categories. The table includes for each country the World Bank income classification, the GDP in current prices, and the GDP per capita based on purchasing power parity (PPP).<\/p>\n\n<figure><img data-dominant-color=\"dde7e2\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #dde7e2;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26881 not-transparent\" alt=\"ECON00\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/05\/ECON00.png\" width=\"620\" height=\"827\"><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Regional Categorization:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For analysis, we grouped the 39 countries surveyed into six regions \u2013 North America, Europe, Middle East, Asia\/Pacific, Latin America and Africa.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>North America<\/strong> includes:\n\u2022 Canada\n\u2022 United States<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Europe<\/strong> includes countries from both Western and Eastern Europe:\n\u2022 Britain\n\u2022 France\n\u2022 Germany\n\u2022 Italy\n\u2022 Spain\n\u2022 Greece\n\u2022 Poland\n\u2022 Czech Republic\n\u2022 Russia<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Middle East<\/strong> includes countries and territories from the Middle East and North Africa, as well as Turkey:\n\u2022 Turkey\n\u2022 Egypt\n\u2022 Jordan\n\u2022 Lebanon\n\u2022 Palestinian territories\n\u2022 Tunisia\n\u2022 Israel<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Asia\/Pacific<\/strong> includes countries from Asia and the Pacific region:\n\u2022 Australia\n\u2022 China\n\u2022 Indonesia\n\u2022 Japan\n\u2022 Malaysia\n\u2022 Pakistan\n\u2022 Philippines\n\u2022 South Korea<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Latin America<\/strong> includes countries from North, Central and South America:\n\u2022 Argentina\n\u2022 Bolivia\n\u2022 Brazil\n\u2022 Chile\n\u2022 El Salvador\n\u2022 Mexico\n\u2022 Venezuela<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Africa<\/strong> includes countries from sub-Saharan Africa:\n\u2022 Ghana\n\u2022 Kenya\n\u2022 Nigeria\n\u2022 Senegal\n\u2022 South Africa\n\u2022 Uganda<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Economy Categorization: To categorize the 39 countries surveyed into three categories \u2013 advanced economies, emerging markets and developing economies \u2013 we started with the World Bank classification of countries by income.
