On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the Parity data set which pertains to Purchasing Power Parity and other parity relationships. The Parity data set is found in the plm R package. You can load the Parity data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("Parity"). This will load the data into a variable called Parity. If R says the Parity data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("plm") and then attempt to reload the data. If you need to download R, you can go to the R project website. You can download a CSV (comma separated values) version of the Parity R data set. The size of this file is about 128,898 bytes.
