“Measuring the Real Size of the World Economy: The Framework, Methodology, and Results of the International Comparison Program-ICP is the most comprehensive accounting ever presented by the International Comparison Program (ICP) of the theory and methods underlying the estimation of purchasing power parities (PPPs).
