CPI and PPP deflators
LIS provides Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) deflators that can be used to directly compare absolute monetary values across different LIS and LWS datasets
- CPIs, needed to compare real amounts over time within countries;
- PPPs, needed to compare real amounts across countries;
- and LIS PPPs, which combine CPI and PPP deflators and can be used to compare real amounts across countries and over time.
Complementary Databases
LIS hosts a collection of databases with country-level indicators that are widely used by researchers seeking to link policy/institutional variables to micro-level outcomes. These databases are designed to be used alone or in conjunction with LIS microdata.
