Scope note: Ajuste que permite eliminar las distorsiones que generan los diferentes niveles precios de un producto, homogeneizando el valor de un o varios productos a comprar, a una misma moneda base. En economía suele usarse para comparar el total de la producción de bienes y servicios de un país con respecto a otro o a un conjunto de países. Debido a que cada país expresa su producción en una unidad monetaria local y esta pudiese estar influenciada por un nivel alto de precios o viceversa, se hace necesario para fines comparativos con los demás países, expresar la producción total a una misma moneda base.
