| Аннотация | Purchasing Power Parities (PPPs) play a key role in comparative analyses. There is one important specific use of PPPs in the EU: the financial support to the economic development of regions (a large part of the EU budget) is determined partially by the regions’ per-capita GDP in PPP terms. This, to some extent, has driven the development of the European PPP program.
Another use of PPPs is the analysis of price convergence; in this context the article considers a computation of Price Level Indexes at fixed exchange rate.
The article also describes recent andforthcoming developments in the Eurostat PPP program, including such issues as comparing education and health, implementation of European System of Accounts (ESA) 2010, introducing a new basic heading classification, reorganisation of the consumer goods price surveys and the development of PPPs for industries.
The article argues in favour of keeping the regional approach for the International Comparison Program (ICP) and the need to strike the right balance between autonomy for a region and its adherence to globally agreed methodologies. |
