Where data on GDP per worker for the year 2000 are missing from PWT 6.1, but are available for 1996 or after, we extrapolate using the growth rate between 1990 and the latest available year. This procedure helps to alleviate the biases that can occur when countries are missing from the sample for systematic reasons, such as political or economic collapse.
The countries involved are Angola (extrapolated from 1990-1996), Botswana (1999), Central African Republic (1998), Democratic Republic of Congo (1997), Cyprus (1996), Fiji (1999), Guyana (1999), Mauritania (1999), Namibia (1999), Papua New Guinea (1999), Singapore (1996), and Taiwan (1998).
