Gross national income

The gross national income (GNI) is the total domestic and foreign output claimed by residents of a country, consisting of gross domestic product (GDP) plus factor incomes earned by foreign residents, minus income earned in the domestic economy by nonresidents (Todaro & Smith, 2011: 44). (All figures in millions of US dollars).Comparing the GNI and GDP shows us whether a nation's resources are put to capital creation or declining toward abroad.

Alternative sources and further countries

The Atlas method from The World Bank seems to be without alternatives since a few years. Although NationsOnline lists GNI data from the early 2000s[2] and points to the International Monetary Fund, World Economic Outlook Database[3] and the CIA World Factbook,[4] neither of these references, nor the IMF eLibrary[5] includes GNI data.
