Who does ICP serve?
The ICP offers researchers and economists a powerful tool for comparative research on economic and social development. All the major international development agencies, including the World Bank, IMF, WHO, UNESCO and UNDP use PPP data to analyze economic and social conditions within their areas of concern. The data provided by the ICP is also very useful at the country level. For example, India has used the data for assessing competitiveness of selected manufacturers in world trade and for evaluating taxes and subsidies. The importance of this project can therefore not be emphasized more.
