Book excerpt: International comparisons of production, consumption, and investment are indispensable for the analysis of economic and social development. As a result of work over the past two decades by national statistical offices, the United Nations and other international organizations, data on national income and expenditure are becoming more and more comparable from the standpoint of statistical methodology. However, even where standard methodology has been adopted to produce national estimates of these aggregates, a major limitation to comparability has been the inadequacy of official exchange rates for purposes of converting estimates in national currencies to a common basis of valuation. Thus, at the end of the 1960's no adequate basis existed for comparisons on a world-wide scale. The long-term aim of the work begun by the United Nations International Comparison Project in 1968 was to fill this important gap in international statistics by developing detailed intercountry comparisons for gross domestic product and the purchasing power of currencies. The results of the first stage of this effort are presented in this report. An extension of the project to cover additional countries is under way.

This book was released on 2020-07-06 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Comparison Program (ICP) is a worldwide statistical initiative led by the World Bank under the auspices of the United Nations Statistical Commission. It produces comparable price and volume measures of gross domestic product (GDP) and its expenditure aggregates across economies. Through a partnership with international, regional, sub-regional and national agencies, the ICP collects price data and GDP expenditures to estimate purchasing power parities (PPPs) for the world’s economies. The report provides ICP results for the benchmark year 2017 and revised results for earlier years. ICP data are used for socio-economic analyses by researchers, academics, policy makers at the national and international levels, and by organizations such as the European Union, the International Monetary Fund, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the United Nations, and the World Bank. Notably, PPPs and ICP data are used in indicators monitoring progress towards eight goals of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the World Bank’s international poverty lines, and the construction of the Human Development Index by the United Nations, among others. The use of PPPs continues to grow and the ICP website (icp.worldbank.org) lists many applications of the data by the development community, academia, media and others.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the United Nations International Comparison Project (ICP) is to compare the purchasing power of currencies and the real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita of different countries. It is well known that the usual method of converting the GDPs of different countries to a common currency, usually U.S. dollars, at existing exchange rates is misleading because exchange rates do not necessarily reflect the purchasing power of currencies. The ICP has found that the purchasing power of a country's currency over GDP can be as much as three times its dollar exchange rate, and thus the real GDP per capita is three times the value shown in an exchange-rate conversion. The unsatisfactory nature of exchange-rate conversions has become even clearer in the past few years under the new regime of managed floating rates. Changes in exchange rates of as much as 20 percent within the space of a year have not been unusual even among major currencies.
