Big Mac Index

For some time the Economist has published an index of currency valuations tied to the McDonald's Big Mac hamburger on the theory that it is one of the few world-wide commodities whose value can measure purchasing power parity. It now finds the Euro 25% over-valued to the dollar and the yen 17% undervalued. Economist.com: :Big Mac index
