International and Interarea Comparisons of Income, Output, and Prices

This work includes discussions of developments in the United Nations International Comparison Program, the largest effort in this field, and in the ICOP programme on the production side, including efforts in both to extend the comparisons to the formerly planned economies. Other papers in this volume explore the programmes on interspatial comparisons within the United States. There are also theoretical papers on how interspatial comparisons should be made and several examples of uses of such comparisons.
