Page: 1 Purchasing Power Parity Estimates for Canada and Implications for Volume Comparisons   URL: http://www.csls.ca/new/cea_pape.html   Interest in purchasing power parities comes from policy, analytical and private sector uses and from the widespread recognition that official market exchange rates are inadequate tools for purposes of comparing price levels among countries. Governments and international agencies are increasingly interested in the rankings of countries in terms of their output for purposes of international comparisons. Academic and private sector interests continue to explore alternative measures for comparison, and such direct uses as assessing the relative costs of setting up a business in different countries, or legal and insurance settlements in different currencies. A number of PPP measures have been calculated, from which are derived different results for inter-country price levels and the reciprocal volume or real comparisons. PPPs as inter-country deflators are preferable to the exchange rate based comparisons on both conceptual and empirical grounds. The paper focuses on differences in the Canada/US comparisons using the multilateral and bilateral studies of the OECD-EUROSTAT PURCHASING Power Parity Programme, and touches on the results obtained through the much broader-based World PENN Tables.
