| | Purchasing power parity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Estimation of purchasing parity is complicated by the fact that countries do not simply differ in a uniform price level; rather, the difference in food prices may be greater than the difference in housing prices or in the opposite direction of the difference in entertainment prices. | | | In economics, purchasing power parity (PPP) is an estimate of the exchange rate required to equalise the purchasing power of different currencies, given the prices of goods and services in the countries concerned. | | | The PPP exchange rate is 1.023 from 1980 to 2002, and the "constant" and "current" price is the same in 2000, because that's the base year for the "constant" (inflation adjusted) currency. |

| | Purchasing power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Falling purchasing power can thus be part of inflation. | | | In economics, purchasing power refers to the amount of goods and services a given amount of money — or, more generally, liquid assets — can buy. | | | As Adam Smith noted, having money gives one the ability to "command" others' labor, so purchasing power to some extent is power over other people. |

| | Purchasing Power Parity |
| | Purchasing power parity (PPP) is a theory which states that exchange rates between currencies are in equilibrium when their purchasing power is the same in each of the two countries. | | | The simplest way to calculate purchasing power parity between two countries is to compare the price of a "standard" good that is in fact identical across countries. | | | Absolute PPP was described in the previous paragraph; it refers to the equalization of price levels across countries. |

| | Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) |
| | PPP suggests that the purchasing power of a consumer will be similar when purchasing goods in a foreign country or in the home country. | | | According to PPP, currencies in highly-inflated countries will be weaker causing the purchasing power of goods in the home country versus these countries to be similar. | | | If inflation in the foreign country differs from inflation in the home country, the exchange rate will adjust to maintain equal purchasing power. |

| | FXBigMac - World economics based on the hamburger standard |
| | Purchasing Power Parity (PPP): is a measure of the relative purchasing power of different currencies. | | | It is measured by the price of the same goods in different countries, translated by the FX rate (or exchange rate) of that country's currency against a "base currency". | | | For example, if a BigMac costs €2.75 in the countries that use Euro and costs $2.65 in US, then the PPP exchange rate would be 2.75/2.65 = 1.0377. |

| | Purchasing Power Parity |
| | The purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rate, which is usually considered to be the best for the purpose, is defined as the amount of foreign currency that would allow you to buy the same quantity of goods in foreign country which you can buy for one dollar in the USA. | | | As students of economics they agreed to use the purchasing power parity exchange rate. | | | Now substituting personal parameters a and b into (5) we obtain individual purchasing power parity exchange rates for our friends: |

| | Per Capita GNP versus Parity Purchasing Power |
| | One is entitled to question the representativeness of PPP to "benchmarking" the purchasing power of a developing country's citizen - not to speak of the alleged "welfare" measuring. | | | Thanks to the extra-purchasing bonus gained by the national currency of a developing country versus the currency of a developed one, developing country's consumers may "enjoy" the same living standard as the one from a developed country. | | | Since two decades there is a tendency to "measure" the wealth of countries around the world considering the Parity Purchasing Power instead of Gross National Product. |

| | Economics: Purchasing Power Parity exchange rate |
| | I gather that the standard solution is to calculate a purchasing power parity exchange rate. | | | Put another way, the problem is that the ratio of the prices of non-traded goods to the prices of traded goods is different in different countries. | | | My issue begins with the fact that non-traded goods and services compose differing proportions of GNP from country to country. |

| | 7. Basic economic indicators: Purchasing power parity |
| | Recently, it has become possible to compare national currencies based on purchasing power parity (PPP)--in effect, how much of a common "market basket" of goods and services each currency can purchase locally, including goods and services that are not traded internationally. | | | In making international comparisons, GDP and GNP (as conventionally calculated) have an additional--and purely economic--limitation, namely, that market exchange rates for a nation's currency often do not reflect that currency's true purchasing power at home. | | | With PPP-based currency values, however, China's GDP growth rate for the same period is about 5 percent [5] [6]. |
