Does PPP-adjusted data exaggerate the relative size of poor economies?

Author

Abstract

Though excellent for comparing living standards, conventional PPP-adjusted real income measures may be a poor basis for ranking economies by total size. They assign a far larger share of World output to poor countries than would a more relevant alternative based on valuing output using the equilibrium prices of an hypothetical world of full economic integration.
