Purchasing Power Parity Exchange Rates for the Global Poor

The global poverty count uses a common global poverty line, often referred to as the dollar-a-day line, currently $1.25 at 2005 international prices, whose construction and application depends on purchasing power parity (PPP) exchange rates for consumption.

We use household surveys from 62 developing countries to calculate global poverty-weighted PPPs and to calculate global poverty lines and new global poverty counts. 2012-03-30T07:33:38Z 2012-03-30T07:33:38Z 2011-04 Journal Article American Economic Journal: Applied Economics 19457782 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5604 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article
