• Global Inequality: Beyond the Bottom Billion – A Rapid Review of Income Distribution in 141 Countries (2011, unknown): “prices for services tend to be much higher than those in developing countries, and PPP-derived income estimates are likely to be inconsistent with actual consumption structures and result in artificial substitution (Dowrick and Akmal 2005).”
• International Income Inequality: Measuring PPP Bias by Estimating Engel Curves for Food (2012, unknown): “Some contributors focus on one component of the bias, however, the so-called substitution bias, and use macro data to measure this bias (Dowrick and Akmal, 2005; Hill, 2000; Neary, 2004; Nuxoll, 1994).”
• Measurement of Income Distribution in Supranational Entities: The Case of the European Union (2007, unknown): “As stressed by Dowrick and Akmal (2005), the use of average international prices leads to a bias that is opposite in sign to the ‘traded sector bias’ implicit in market exchange rates: the real income of people living in poor countries is bound to be overstated if the goods and services consumed…”

(1997), Dowrick and Akmal (2005), Sala-i-Martı´n (2006), and Schultz (1998) use the Deininger and Squire (1996) inequality database for estimates of relative inequality within countries and peg the relative distributions around an absolute mean from the national…”
• Global inequality recalculated and updated: the effect of new PPP estimates on global inequality and 2005 estimates (2012, unknown): “2It is worth mentioning that these estimates of PPPs are obtained by using a particular approach to the index number problem aggregation called EKS (Eltöte, Köves and Szulc) and that this aggregation produces, in principle, different PPPs from the alternative aggregations such as GearyKhamis (used b”
