In the past, such comparisons were made in nominal terms, or by using exchange rates across countries, ignoring differences in price levels and thus distorting the results. Great progress has been made in interspatial comparisons in the past thirty years, but descriptions and discussions of the new measures have been scattered in unpublished or inaccessible papers. International and Interarea Comparisons of Income, Output, and Prices includes discussions of developments in the United Nations International Comparison Program, the largest effort in this field, and in the ICOP program on the production side, including efforts in both to extend the comparisons to the formerly planned economies. Other papers in this volume explore new programs on interspatial comparisons within the United States. There are also theoretical papers on how interspatial comparisons should be made and several examples of uses of such comparisons. 410 0$aStudies in income and wealth ;$vv. 61. 606 $aNational income$vCongresses 606 $aPrices$vCongresses 610 $aoutput, real income, prices, exchange rates, price levels, economics, trade, finance, business, international comparisons, spanning trees, commodity aggregation, goods, compensation, brazil, europe, health expenses, healthcare, medical care, parities, purchasing power, soviet, republic of moldova, baltic countries, romania, mexico, france, communications, transport, distribution, transition economies, industry, productivity, quantities, technology, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, regulation, wage dispersion, nonfiction. 615 0$aNational income 615 0$aPrices 676 $a330 s 676 $a339.3 701 $aHeston$b Alan W$01462772 701 $aLipsey$b Robert E$0631845 712 02$aConference on Research in Income and Wealth. 712 12$aCRIW Conference on International and Interarea Comparisons of Price, Income, and Output$f(1996 :$eArlington, Va.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784826003321 996 $aInternational and interarea comparisons of income, output, and prices$93671893 997 $aUNINA
