Military Expenditures Statistics 2001

Source http://www.globastat.com/m8.htm

Notes on Data

1. The source for all the data used in Globastat is the CIA World Factbook 2001.

2. Included are only those countries that are independent according to the CIA World Factbook. Exceptions are British Virgin Islands, "Turkish" Cyprus, Hong Kong, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, Virgin Islands, and West Bank.

3. If the CIA World Fact Book describes data as over, under, about, or approximately 'x', that data in Globastat is reported as simply 'x'.

4. If the CIA World Fact Book describes data as between 'x' and 'y', that data in Globastat is reported as the average of 'x' and 'y'.

5. If the CIA World Fact Book describes data as 'negligible', that data in Globastat is reported as '0'.

6. The numbers for the world as a whole may not equal the mathematical sum of the participating countries, due to the exclusion of non-independent countries from the Globastat list.

7. The CIA World Factbook 2001 contains data collected during different time periods (i.e., 1996, 2000). As a result, different countries may have their respective data to correspond to different years, while being considered under the same data category. This inconsistency may render a country comparison less reliable.

8. Cyprus is represented as two separate entities: Cyprus (Greek), and Cyprus (Turkish). The CIA World Factbook provides separate data on Cyprus (Greek) and Cyprus (Turkish) for some categories and not others. Wherever, such separate data is available, Globastat reports separate data for the two Cyprus' as well. Otherwise, the same aggregate CIA data is repeated under both Cyprus'.

9. Some San Marino trade data is included under Italy.

10. GDP is the same as "purchasing power parity".

 

DISCLAIMER: The information provided on Globastat is compiled with my best ability and intentions. However, I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data, and therefore cannot be held responsible for any possible mistakes.
