Note(s):
'PPP' stands for 'producing power parity.' The tax adjustment rate was estimated for the year 2000 since data were not available in the United States for 1999. Canadian gross domestic product at market price and tax on products (both in millions of dollars) were obtained from CANSIM Table 380-0030. U.S. gross domestic product at market price and taxes on products less subsidies and import duties (both in millions of dollars) were obtained from Bureau of Economic Analysis Table 900. The Canadian business-sector deflator was obtained from a special tabulation carried out by the Income and Expenditure Accounts Division of Statistics Canada. The U.S. business-sector deflator was obtained from Bureau of Economic Analysis Tables 1.3.5 and 1.3.6.
