GDP per head is expressed in 1990 dollars adjusted for its purchasing power adjusted, that it, for the difference in price level across countries (the so-called Geary-Khamis [G-K] 1990 $). For GDP per head, as it is intended as crude proxy for those dimensions of wellbeing other than education and health, logarithmic transformation has been introduced. The log transformation implies that, in terms of human development, returns of per capita income decline as it reaches higher levels. Given its non-bounded nature, without this transformation, GDP per head would dominate the human development index rendering it redundant. In order to get the income index I have used the same formula used for liberal democracy, I = (x – Mo) / (M – Mo), except that $x$, $M$, and $Mo$ are expressed in logs. Where $I$ is the dimension index, $x$ is an indicator of a country’s standard of living, $M$ and $Mo$ are the maximum and minimum values, respectively, or goalposts, that facilitate comparisons over time and log stands for the natural logarithm. The index for each dimension ranges between 0 and 1. Goalposts are set for human development’s different dimensions. For per capita GDP, the maximum and minimum values over 1870-2020 were G-K 1990 $47,000 and $100, respectively.
