Formulation of estimated World Market Distortion (WMD) involves world weighted indices of cardinal demographic themes.
WMD is calculated using the formula:
WMD = [(w1)(World GNI per capita)]-[(w2)(World Population)]
Simplified
WMD = [Income Ratio]-[Population Ratio]
Where, income ratio may be measured in terms of Hard Currency (USDI) or Soft Currency (PPPI).
