 Discussant Notes 1Tim Moonen Chapter 7 in 2018 Annual Indices for Expatriates and Ordinary Residents on Cost of Living, Wages and Purchasing Power for World's Major Cities, 2020, pp 639-642 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd. Abstract: Thank you very much and congratulations to the team for a very engaging and thoughtful piece of work, which we have read and reviewed with great enthusiasm. What I want to do is really to reaffirm the importance of this index in the context of the changing world of cities, and to observe and confirm some of the important directions that this index is taking us, in relation to measuring cost and affordability in cities compared to everything else that is already out there. I had a look into some of the results which are very striking to me. As somebody working in many of the cities that are mentioned at various levels and at various price points within this index, it helps me to identify what is surprising and why, and at the same time, focus on what policymakers may draw on from this study and how it may be applied around the world… Keywords: Cost of Living; Purchasing Power; Wages; Expatriates; Ordinary Residents (search for similar items in EconPapers) Downloads: (external link) Related works: Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/Text Persistent link: https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:wsi:wschap:9789811208867_0007 Ordering information: This item can be ordered from Access Statistics for this chapter More chapters in World Scientific Book Chapters from World Scientific Publishing Co.
