that is a good question.. it would be silly not to use GNI Atlas.. especially for a country like Jamaica which experienced a large fluctuation in dollar value between 2007 and 2010.. from 69:1 to 89:1.. that is an almost 30% swing which would greatly affect PPP
That alone would negate the remittance drop off... and in 2010 where there was a remittance recovery and not insignificant foreign aid inflows.. 20% increase in average income is quite mathematically possible...
But we already know this since.. um.. that is the report on the OPM website (let us assume our local economists can do simple research of World Bank conversion data) before make such 'mathematically impossible' statements..
