Burgernomics: a big MacT guide to purchasing power parity
Pollard, Patricia S.; Pakko, Michael R. (2003-11)
The theory of purchasing power parity (PPP) has long been a staple of international economic analysis. Recent years have seen the rise in popularity of a tongue-in-cheek, fast-food version of PPP: The Big Mac? index. In this article, Michael Pakko and Patricia Pollard describe how comparisons of Big Mac prices around the world contain the ingredients necessary to demonstrate the fundamental principles of PPP. They show that the Big Mac index does nearly as well as more comprehensive measures of international price comparisons and that deviations from ?McParity? illustrate why PPP often ...

Going down: the Asian crisis and U.S. exports
Pollard, Patricia S.; Coughlin, Cletus C. (1999-03)
The Asian financial and economic crisis has attracted much attention to the trade links among the United States and countries throughout Asia.

More than half the industries they studied experienced declines in exports to East Asia of more than 15 percent; however, focusing solely on the export data overstates the ...

The creation of the Euro and the role of the dollar in international markets
Pollard, Patricia S. (2001-05)

Moreover, the article considers the implications for the United States and the euro area of a rise in the use of the euro and consequent fall in the use of the dollar internationally.

State exports and the Asian crisis
Pollard, Patricia S.; Coughlin, Cletus C. (2000-01)
The Asian crisis caused a decline in most states' exports of manufactured goods to East Asia during 1998, but the severity of the decline varied across states. In this article, Cletus C. Coughlin and Patricia S. Pollard estimate the size of this export shock for all states. Primarily because western states tend to be more dependent on East Asian markets for export sales, they were hit the hardest by the sharp reduction in Asian demand for U.S.-produced manufactured goods. Of the states in which the decline in exports to East Asia lowered the growth of manufacturing output by more than one ...
