GDP per capita measures economic output per person, not personal wealth or living standards. It can be substantially inflated where a large share of output is generated by multinational corporations or by cross-border workers who are not counted in the resident population. Ireland's figure, for example, is raised by multinational profit-shifting — its own statistics office reports a modified measure (GNI*) for this reason — and Luxembourg's by commuters who contribute to GDP but live abroad. For comparing living standards, GDP per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP) is more reliable.
