What is the euro-dollar exchange, purchasing power parity?
Q. We all know that the dollar is becoming surprisingly weak compared to the euro. But what is the actual euro-dollar exchange, purchasing power parity? (i.e. how much should a US worker earn, in average, to have the same life style of a European worker earning 10,000 a year?) I know that a dollar euro is traded at 1.6$. My question is different..

A. I think the best way to figure that out is to look at the most recent numbers for GDP per capita in PPP and then compare them with the exchange rate. After looking at the PPP for both people with euros and the dollar find the ratio and figure it out.. I'm sorry but I have to go to class or I would figure it up. Here's where you can find PPP GDP https://www.cia.gov/libra ry/publications/the-world -factbook/

A. we call 'purchasing power parity gdp' real GDP in the UK. it's gdp without the effect of inflation you get with nominal GDP equation is: 1+nominal rate = (1+inflation rate)*(1+real rate) note the rates are all in decimals. Hope this helps

IS PPP(purchasing power parity) THE SAME AS NOMINAL GDP? IS IT MORE RELEVANT?
Q. i always hear about ppp gdo or purchasing power parity. This based on a basket of goods. but it makes little sense because each country basket of goods, access, diversity, types, quality, and everything differ widely and if the basket of goods is changed, ppp changes in vaue. hence, why is PPP even mentioned since nominal tells what the exchange rate or global market value of such is.
Asked by German Sledger - Sun Aug 29 18:09:21 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. purchasing power parity is actually a measure of relative worth of the value of one currency when compared to another. The reason why they use the basket of goods comparison is to give a visual concept of what the difference is. purchasing power parity actually influences nominal gdp. The country that has a higher currency value tends to import more from a country that has lower currency value. When you attempt to open free trade between the two, instead of protecting one with tariffs, all jobs production tends to flow tot he country with the lower currency value. A condition that occurred when Europeans opened free trade with America in the 1950s creating high unemployment in Europe, and again when America deregulated trade with China… [cont.]

A. Purchasing power parity The purchasing power parity (PPP) theory uses the long-term equilibrium exchange rate of two currencies to equalize their purchasing power. Developed by Gustav Cassel in 1920, it is based on the law of one price: the idea that, in an efficient market, identical goods must have only one price. A purchasing power parity exchange rate equalizes the purchasing power of different currencies in their home countries for a given basket of goods. It is often used to compare the standards of living between countries, rather than a per-capita gross domestic products comparison at market exchange rates. The best known and most used purchasing power parity exchange rate is the Geary-Khamis dollar, also referred to as the… [cont.]

Purchasing Power Parity?
Q. Which of the following are reasons that purchasing power parity is not effective? I. Countries produce different goods and services. Hence, the baskets of goods and services across two countries might differ even though the products in the baskets are the same. II. Nontraded goods and services do not equilibrate in prices between two countries. III. Products in one country might be weighted more heavily than the same products in another country.
Asked by r m - Sun Apr 6 21:20:34 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. II. The more products that fall into the category of "nontradable" the higher the deviation from parity will be. The most commonly used example is a hair cut. You really can't ship a haircut overseas. You cannot sell haircuts on an international market. This is what causes the purchasing power to move away from parity...

Hey, everyone. Question about Purchasing Power Parity...?
Q. Hi Can anyone tell me what does it mean, the Exchange rate between the USA and Argentina is 4.47 and Purchasing Power Parity is 13.9. Does it mean that in Argentina you can buy 13.9 times more goods for 1$ than in the USA? Please, answer faster. Thank you.
Asked by Olzhas Z - Sun Oct 11 22:44:09 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Purchasing power parity deals with how cheap certain goods or services are in certain countries as compared to others. Exchange rate is how much lets say a dollar is worth in Argentina. If one dollar equals 4.47 Argentinian currency and lets say a haircut costs 20 dollars in the US and about 50 Argentininan currency value than the haircut in Argentina is only about 10 US dollars so its half the cost. Purchasing power parity deals with that on various goods and services. Therefore, earning in Argentina may be less than the US but your cost of living may be lower and so you could in fact be living better with lesser dollars.

What is 'Purchasing Power Parity' ?
Q. Depending on the 'PI ( Price Index)' of the USA and India a Dollar and an INR has some purchasing power. Again for the same kind and quality of a product the price of it in the USA and India will be different and flexible. It will be independent of the FER ( Foreign Exchange Ratio ) between one Dollar and INR. Will the changing and flexible PPP ( Purchasing Power Parity ) give an index of the PI of the respective countries?

How is Purchasing Power Parity useful to compare relative price of same product in two countries?
Q. If one wants to compare the relative price of a particular product compared to the same product in another country, how is the Purchasing Power Parity used? For example, if I want to determine how expensive or cheaper the price of say, TV cables service in India is compared to another country, say, UK. how does one use the PPP. Obviously, the UK per capita earning is much higher in absolute terms than in India. So prices of products need to be related to the same to decide whether they are cheaper or costlier relative to the earnings. Please suggest precise method. Ref: answer by Wendy below.

A. Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) usually refers to the notion that, at equilibrium, the ratio of the prices of a good sold in two countries should match the exchange rate between the two currencies. For instance, if something costs $2.00 in the United States and 240 yen in Japan then the exchange rate should be 120 yen per US Dollar.It doesn't fit the data very well, although a milder version sometimes works a little better, that is, if US prices rise by 3 percent and Mexican prices rise by 5 percent, then the exchange rate should change by 2 percent. A more practical version is the Big Mac Index, which is a rough way to judge an exchange rate while traveling.
