| | Purchasing power parity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In contrast to the "real" exchange rate that the currencies are traded for in the official market (as opposed to the black market), the PPP exchange rate is calculated from the relative value of a currency based on the amount of a "basket" of goods the currency will buy in its nation of usage. | | | The PPP method considers a bundle of goods, then calculates the price of this bundle in each country (using the country's local currency.) To calculate the exchange rate between two currencies, one takes the ratio of the prices. | | | Typically, the prices of many goods will be considered, and weighted according to their importance in the economy. |

| | determining the basket of goods and services, is to specify the weight which the development of the prices of individual representatives will have in the total indices. | | | That is so, among other things, because the incorporation of new goods or services is not in each case bound to the date of an index reform and because, should urgent need arise, such changes could be introduced in the calculation even in between two revision dates. | | | From time to time, the goods and services selected have to be examined with the aim to find out whether they still correspond to the current consumption habits. |

| | The government is tackling this problem by updating the basket of goods it uses to calculate inflation more frequently. | | | The problem of substitution bias is that the consumer price index has historically measured the change in the cost of buying a fixed basket of goods. | | | Calculating the change in the CPI with a fixed basket of goods would lead us to say inflation was 10 percent. |

| | To compute the price index, the cost of market basket in any period is divided by the cost of market basket in the base period is divided by the cost of market basket in the base period and the result is multiplied by 100. | | | A price index varies as the cost of purchasing a certain standard market basket of goods and services varies from the cost of purchasing the same market basket in the base year. | | | The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is the ratio of the value of a basket of goods in the current year to the value of that same basket of goods in the earlier goods. |

| | Buying Foreign Goods Saves American Jobs |
| | If Americans were to purchase the less-expensive basket of foreign goods, in addition to having all their needs met that induced them to purchase the goods in the first place, they would also have an additional $5,000 with which to purchase other goods and services. | | | However, in the 15 years before that, from 1973 through 1987, when average annual imports of goods and services totaled a mere $312 billion per year (in 2003 dollars) and there was much less concern about losing jobs to cheap foreign labor markets, the average unemployment rate was significantly higher, 7.2 percent. | | | In this instance, the $5,000 saved by purchasing the less-expensive foreign goods results in the creation of additional jobs in the software, restaurant, entertainment, publishing, and other industries where the money saved would be spent. |
