iPod指数（iPod index）

　　iPod指数：通过iPod产品的市场售价来体现各国货币币值与购买力。

　　于2006年由澳洲联邦银行推出，其理论基础是购买力平价，即汇率若未遭到扭曲，同一产品的售价在全球各地应该大致相同。被认为是巨无霸指数（Big Mac index）的21世纪版本，与巨无霸指数相比，其标榜更准确反映汇率水平，并不受各地税率、劳工成本等因素影响。

　　22 August 2009: One vivid way to illustrate the relative purchasing power of wages is to replace the abstract basket of goods and services with a specific, highly uniform product that is available everywhere with the same quality, and then calculate how long an employee would have to work to be able to afford it in each city. For the first time, a non-food product was used in the study to compare working hours. The iPod nano with 8 GB of storage is an ideal example of a globally uniform product. An average wage-earner in Zurich and New York can buy a nano from an Apple store after nine hours of work. At the other end of the spectrum, workers in Mumbai, need to work 20 nine-hour days – roughly the equivalent of one month's salary – to purchase an iPod nano.
