[2010.10.15] 一个“汉堡”引起的“血战”

Big Mac Index
A light-hearted index devised by The Economist magazine which compares the price of McDonald's Big Mac burgers, a fast food staple available around the world, as a guide to whether currencies are overvalued or undervalued. It's based on the assumption that similar goods should cost the same wherever they are purchased. If the prices are different there is an anomaly in the valuation of the local currency. For example, if a Big Mac costs $1 in Washington and 20 pesos in Ruritania then the dollar/peso exchange rate should be 20 pesos to the dollar. If it's out of line then the peso is either overvalued or undervalued on the basis of purchasing-power parity, which says exchange rates should move towards a level which equalizes the price of an identical basket of goods. Critics say the Big Mac index ignores the effects of taxes, profit margins and the price of raw materials in different countries.

不比较人均收入水平，生产成本，单纯比较以汇率换算出的相对价格，纯属无稽之谈。

本来这个所谓的Big Mac Index的测算就是不准确的~~

Obviously，it picks a smart and inconspicuous way to appeal for the reevaluation of  Chinese RMB, which from my point of view contains something spiteful in it.
