The paper concludes with reflections about which approach is preferable when attempting to assess global construction relativities and what further research is needed. The recent publication of construction-specific indices as part of the Eurostat-OECD joint PPP program is also compared against generic indices and the discrepancy is calculated. International joint ventures are very common nowadays. 12- International joint venture eradicates the risk of discrimination. Starting a joint venture is a great way to save money and/or split costs. And that works for a lot of other types of costs. In particular, this paper looks at whether an index based on the price of a McDonalds Big Mac3 hamburger is a viable alternative when compared against the mainstream methods. 11 You get to save money by sharing advertising and marketing costs. The approach adopted is to compare the construction cost of a typical five star international hotel per square metre in each of ten major cities using a range of PPP methods and to comment on their variability.
This paper explores the use of purchasing power parity (PPP) in the comparison of construction costs between different countries, and whether the development of construction-specific indices will improve reliability.

If the minimum wage were increased to 15 an hour, prices at fast food restaurants would rise by an estimated 4.3 percent, according to a new study.
Using the Big Mac index for comparing construction costs internationally Why does the price of the Big Mac vary so much from country to country when the product is exactly the same Why does the law of one price not hold up for this product Are there any products that the law of one price holds true for If yes, give an example and example why, if no, explain why. This Is How Much A Big Mac Would Cost If The Minimum Wage Was 15.
