The OECD, Eurostat, and 47 participating countries work together in establishing purchasing power parities, or PPPs, in order to compare the price and volume levels of the GDPs. This programme is called the Eurostat-OECD PPP Programme. The manual gives a complete, detailed and up-to-date description of the functioning of the programme. This includes its organisation, the various surveys carried out by participating countries and the ways PPPs are calculated and disseminated. It also provides guidance on the use of PPPs.

The chapter, like the previous chapter, concerns gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) and the pricing of capital goods for Eurostat and OECD comparisons. Chapter 10 deals with the equipment goods price survey and the collection of prices for machinery and equipment and computer software. This chapter deals with the construction price survey and the pricing of construction projects. As the chapter explains, pricing a construction project involves collecting unit prices with which to value its components and summing the values obtained to arrive at a total price for the project. PPPs for construction are calculated with the total prices for a set of construction projects. The set covers three types of structures: residential buildings, non-residential buildings and civil engineering works.
