Editing Purchasing power parity (section)

====iPad Index====
Like the [[Big Mac Index]], the iPad index (elaborated by [[Commonwealth Securities|CommSec]]) compares an item's price in various locations. Unlike the [[Big Mac]], however, each iPad is produced in the same place (except for the model sold in Brazil) and all iPads (within the same model) have identical performance characteristics. Price differences are therefore a function of transportation costs, taxes, and the prices that may be realized in individual markets. In 2013, an iPad cost about twice as much in Argentina as in the United States.
