No RPT146710-2, ADB Reports from Asian Development Bank (ADB)

Abstract: This report presents the results of purchasing power parities (PPPs) in the 2011 International Comparison Program in Asia and the Pacific and background information on the concepts that underpin the results. The PPPs are disaggregated by major economic aggregates that enable robust cross-country comparisons. It includes variables such as per capita real gross domestic product, real per capita actual final consumption expenditure for measures of economic well-being, gross fixed capital formation reflecting investment, and price level indexes showing relative cost of living by economy.
