Citizens vs residents

These are used interchangeably but they have different meanings especially in countries e.g. Switzerland that have a large immigrant population. I suspect it should always be resident but am not an expert. Could someone please clean up. Wayne (talk) 21:15, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong definition

I think "plus factor incomes earned by foreign residents" should be "plus factor incomes earned abroad by nationals" Tavernsenses (talk) 10:30, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

this article should merge with Gross national product

http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GNP.MKTP.CD?order=wbapi_data_value_2008+wbapi_data_value+wbapi_data_value-last&sort=desc&page=1 World Bank states that GNI and GNP is the same.--Crossswords (talk) 16:50, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At least in the U.S., GNP and GNI describe the same underlying concept (total production = total income received). Theoretically GNP is the same as GNI. Yet, they are calculated from different sources (expenditure vs. income), and they are different in reality.

The data seems to be all wrong

It looks like the data in all of the tables of this article, except for GNI (PPP) for 2021, does not match that of the source (World Bank). Any idea why? Turtle0000 (talk) 02:05, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
