Description
essay
explain how Purchasing Power Party (PPP) is used in the analysis of the manufacturing sector in the United States in regard to world trade (5) and how production levels are affected by the strength of the dollar [6, 7].

Essay Prompt for Purchasing Power Parity
What is a Big Mac? It is a burger with two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese,
pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun [1]. They were first sold at their store on McKnight
Road in Pittsburgh in the late 1960s1, and as they were a big hit, they were added to the menu
world-wide. In the world of economics, there is a concept called Purchasing Power Parity,
which is defined as:
Purchasing power parity (PPP) is a measurement of prices in different countries
that uses the prices of specific goods to compare the absolute purchasing
power of the countries’ currencies. [2]
Since the components of a Big Mac are known in such detail, it became an easy example for
economic teachers to use for PPP [3]. It turned out that the Big Mac Index is a great
measurement tool as the cost of transportation, real estate, and utilities are also included. The
newspaper, The Economist, regularly reports this index for the worlds economy [4].

That was the store closest to my neighborhood when I was a kid. BTW this is an example of how and when to
use a footnote!
