What is Big Mac Index Since 1986, The Economist has been publishing a price index known as the Big Mac Index. This index serves as an informal method of evaluating the purchasing power parity (PPP) between two currencies. Additionally, it serves as a test of the extent to which market exchange rates result in commodities costing the same in different nations. Essentially it "seeks to make exchange-rate theory a bit more digestible." Through the use of this index, the relative cost of purchasing a Big Mac, which is a hamburger that is sold in McDonald's restaurants, is compared across the globe.

PPP is one of the most widely researched areas in international finance and one of the most controversial in the theory of exchange rate determination. This book demonstrates the applications of Purchasing Power Parity in exchange rate determination as well as more practical applications of salary comparison and the cost-of living across borders. It uses The Economist's annual Big Mac Index in place of the traditional basket of services used in PPP research. The author demonstrates that this is a good solution to the index-number problem since it is readily available and more appealing as an international monetary standard. The book also shows how The Big Mac Index could have been used to predict the Asian Currency Crisis and the Mexican Peso stand-off where more traditional economic measures failed.

Was ist der Big Mac Index? Seit 1986 veröffentlicht The Economist einen Preisindex, der als Big Mac Index bekannt ist. Dieser Index dient als informelle Methode zur Bewertung der Kaufkraftparität (KKP) zwischen zwei Währungen. Darüber hinaus dient es als Test dafür, inwieweit Marktwechselkurse dazu führen, dass Waren in verschiedenen Ländern den gleichen Preis haben. Im Wesentlichen soll es „die Wechselkurstheorie ein wenig verständlicher machen“.
