Note: With the exception of the Greenberg diversity index all data was obtained by averaging annual data from 1990 to 2000. Where sharp breaks in the data ranges occurred changes in accounting practices were assumed and only the data from the most recent years were averaged. Data was not available for all countries and all years. The annual data for each category and country can be obtained from the appropriate UN table listed in table 28.
