AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF PURCHASING POWER PARITY ON NATIONAL COMPETITIVENESS AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN 21 EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Journal Title: Revista Economia Contemporana - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The purchasing power parity is an indicator that facilitates the analysis of price differences between national economies, enabling comparisons in terms of level of development. In order to test this scientific hypothesis, we used the Big Mac Index to assess the purchasing power of the national currencies of 21 European countries between 2011 and 2017. We used statistical correlation to analyse the relationship between the strength of the national currency and the competitiveness of the national economy, on one hand, and the relationship between the strength of the national currency and the level of human development achieved by the countries included in the study, on the other hand. The two statistical correlations generated positive results, thus validating the initial hypothesis. All the correlation indices recorded positive values, higher than 0,5, throughout the entire period of analysis, supporting the idea that the strength of the national currency does influence the competitiveness and level of human development of the studied countries.
