Table 2.1. Weights of the three main groups of pillars at each stage of development

Countries are allocated to stages of development based on two criteria. The first criterion is the level of GDP per capita at market exchange rates. This widely available measure is used as a proxy for wages, as internationally comparable data for the latter are not available for all countries covered. The precise thresholds are shown in Table 2.2. A second criterion measures the extent to which countries are factor driven. We proxy this by the share of exports of primary goods in total exports (goods and services) and assume that countries that export more than 70 percent of primary products are to a large extent factor driven.
