Income per Person (GDP per capita, PPP) in Ecuador: 1800 to Today (and Tomorrow)

At MYRIAD, we examine the statistics of human lives to understand the material reality of our shared world. For Ecuador, average yearly economic output per person, adjusted for purchasing power in 2017 international dollars, tells a profound story about daily existence across three centuries. Every single value recorded here is a statistical fact about the lives actually lived there, mapping the economic contours of generations from the distant past into the unfolding future.

The historical arc of this economy moves steadily across time, charted decade by decade.
