[经济]China Just Overtook The US As The World's Largest Economy [复制链接]

Sorry, America. China just overtook the US to become the world's largest economy, according to the International Monetary Fund.

Chris Giles at the Financial Times flagged up the change. He also alerted us in April that it was all about to happen.

Basically, the method used by the IMF adjusts for purchasing power parity, explained here.

The simple logic is that prices aren't the same in each country: A shirt will cost you less in Shanghai than in San Francisco, so it's not entirely reasonable to compare countries without taking this into account. Though a typical person in China earns a lot less than the typical person in the US, simply converting a Chinese salary into dollars underestimates how much purchasing power that individual, and therefore that country, might have. The Economist's Big Mac Index is a great example of these disparities.

So the IMF measures both GDP in market-exchange terms and in terms of purchasing power. On the purchasing-power basis, China is overtaking the US right about now and becoming the world's biggest economy.

We've just gone past that crossover on the chart below, according to the IMF. By the end of 2014, China will make up 16.48% of the world's purchasing-power adjusted GDP (or $17.632 trillion), and the US will make up just 16.28% (or $17.416 trillion):

It's not all sour news for the US. It'll be some time yet until the lines cross over in raw terms, not adjusted for purchasing power. By that measure, China still sits more than $6.5 trillion lower than the US and isn't likely to overtake for quite some time:

看看北京的雾霾，看看美国的空气就知道差距有多大了

没办法，中国人民烧秸秆，美国人民不烧。

又是意淫帖啊

对不起，美国。中国刚刚超过美国，成为世界最大的经济体，根据国际货币基金组织（IMF），克里斯•贾尔斯在金融时报标记了变化。他也提醒我们在四月份，这是所有即将发生，基本上采用国际货币基金组织的方法调整为按购买力平价，在此说明的简单的逻辑是，价格不是每个国家的一样：一件衬衫的费用你少在上海比在旧金山，所以它不是完全合理的，比较各国没有考虑到这一点。虽然一般人在中国的收入比一般人在美国少了很多，简单地将中国的工资换成美元低估的采购，个别的，因此该国可能有多大的权力。经济学家的巨无霸指数是这些差异的一个很好的例子，所以在市场上交换的条款和购买力方面，国际货币基金组织措施均国内生产总值。在购买力基础上，中国取代美国一下吧，成为世界上最大的经济体，我们刚刚走过去的下面的图表上的交叉，根据国际货币基金组织。到2014年底，中国将占全球购买力调整的国内生产总值（或176320亿美元）的16.48％，而美国将占仅16.28％（即174160亿美元）：这不是为美国所有酸味的消息。这将是一段时间，但直到线路跨越原始条款，没有调整的购买力。通过这一措施，中国仍然坐在比美国超过65000亿美元较低，不容易超车相当长的一段

把雾霾归结为老百姓烧秸秆是掩耳盗铃！就像某些专家说自行车是当前最大的空气污染源一样。

烧秸秆，别开玩笑鸟，菊花日报告诉你，北京元代就有雾霾，都是古人惹滴祸，跟我兔完全没关系，嘿嘿
