I know, but that shouldn't matter much, PPP adjustment doesn't deviate much year to year one you use the domestic deflator (i.e. we now get to play a three deflator game).
Did you look at the World Bank PPP numbers, or are you just being belligerent at this point?

I did. As I pointed out above, the link you posted says 'current international $'. Current is the key word. [I've asked for a 2nd opinion on this from an international econ friend. I'll see what he says.]

PPP is measured in current international dollars. That's what it is.

Since it CURRENT international dollars the per capita income series you posted isn't inflation adjusted. Real per capita income in El Salvador hasn't doubled. You need to take inflation out if you want to see how much richer people are getting. That's my only point.

Your problem is with the research I linked to, not with my PPP numbers. You're arguing that the PPP threshold for the immigration/PPP function should be inflation-adjusted. You should check the paper I linked to and see what they say about that.

Also note that since U.S. inflation has been low for a while, real per capita PPP income in El Salvdor HAS doubled. Now I must fly on a plane. I have dealt successfully with this failed attempt at critique. My numbers are correct. (end)
