The Big Mac index, also known as Big Mac PPP, is a survey done
by The Economist magazine that is used to measure the
purchasing power parity (PPP) between nations, using the price of a
McDonald's Big Mac as the benchmark.
THE Big Mac index was invented by The Economist in 1986 as
a lighthearted guide to whether currencies are at their “correct”
level. It is based on the theory of purchasing-power parity (PPP),
the notion that in the long run exchange rates should move towards
the rate that would equalise the prices of an identical basket of
goods and services (in this case, a burger) in any two
countries.
