Erroe in GCAM7 modelface 'gdp-per-capita-ppp' unit? about gcam-core HOT 2 CLOSED

@jiangyongye good catch!

Yes, there were some unit discrepancies. It seems population in National Account should be thous as well. We will try to update these. Thanks!

from gcam-core.

Follow up!
I checked the file zsocio_L102.GDP.R
it said
The scenarios generated include the SSPs and the gSSPs (SSPs modified by
#' near-term IMF projections). GDP outputs are in millions of 1990 USD, Market
#' Exchange Rate (measured in 2010) is used for foreign currency. Per-capita
#' values are in thousands of 1990 USD.

so the unit should be thous 1990USD which it make much more sense : )

And i think why this error happen in GCAM7 but not happend in GCAM6
Because GCAM7 added marco_economy module,
in GCAM 7 the code in Main_queries.xml for GDP-PER-CAPITA
changed from

<gdpQueryBuilder title="GDP per capita MER by region">
            <axis1 name="region">region</axis1>
            <axis2 name="Year">gdp-per-capita-mer</axis2>
            <xPath buildList="true" dataName="gdp-per-capita-mer" group="false" sumAll="false">GDP/gdp-per-capita-mer/text()</xPath>

to

        <gdpQueryBuilder title="GDP per capita PPP by region">
            <axis1 name="region">region</axis1>
            <axis2 name="Year">nationalAccount[@year]</axis2>
            <xPath buildList="true" dataName="gdp-per-capita-ppp" group="false" sumAll="false">nationalAccount/account[@name = 'gdp-per-capita-ppp']/node()</xPath>

And i believe in nationalAccount the units are only million 1990US$ based on zsocio_L180.GDP_macro.R
That's why it appear million 1990US in modelface, correct me if i understand wrong ： ）！
