2 ACI-LKY Report: A Highlight ACI-LKY Report aims to provide policy makers and MNC executives reliable estimates of comparative costs of living and purchasing power of wage for over 100 major cities around the world. The ACI-LKY report is prepared by ACI will be published on an annual basis. The ACI-LKY report has three improved features compared to the similar reports published by UBS, Mercer, ECA, and EIU: More comprehensive coverage More rigorous methodology More reliable data 2012/7/31 2
3 ACI-LKY Report: Three Improved Features More Comprehensive Coverage ACI-LKY Report provides: The cost of living index for expats, which are also covered by the UBS, Mercer, ECA, and EIU reports. The cost of living index for the average resident, which is not currently covered by the UBS, Mercer, ECA, and EIU reports. The purchasing power of wage, which is currently covered only by the UBS report. The ACI-LKY Report covers 109 cities, which include 73 cities covered by the UBS report. 2012/7/31 3
4 ACI-LKY Report: Three Improved Features More Rigorous Methodology ACI-LKY Report distinguishes the cost of living between the expat and the average resident. The expat tend to purchase high-end products and have western pattern of consumption preference. The average resident purchase typical products and have the local pattern of consumption. 2012/7/31 4
5 ACI-LKY Report: Three Improved Features More Rigorous Methodology ACI-LKY Report uses the purchasing power parity and consumption basket provided by the World Bank International Comparison Program (ICP). 2012/7/31 5
6 ACI-LKY Report: Three Improved Features More Reliable Data ACI-LKY Report uses more reliable data: The data on cost of living data for expats is provided by EIU, which is considered the most reliable private source of data by most researchers. The data on purchasing power parity is provided by the World Bank ICP, which has been widely used for capturing the cost of living for over 200 countries and territories around the world. 2012/7/31 6
7 ACI-LKY Report: Three Improved Features More Reliable Data ACI-LKY Report uses more reliable data: The data on wage is drawn from the International Labor Organization (ILO), which is considered the most reliable source of data on labor and wage. 2012/7/31 7
8 UBS Framework Basket of goods and services in the Cost of Living index is adjusted based on their weighting in the European consumer price index, so that all the prices added up to the approximate monthly consumption of a European family of three 2012/7/31 8
9 UBS Framework Apart from the Cost of Living index, a Domestic Purchasing Power index is available (net income divided by basket of goods) Data used in the indices are obtained through surveys from a representative sample of companies 2012/7/31 9
10 UBS Framework: Discussion Cost of Living index geared to Western European consumer habits; effective cost of living depends on the resident s address, lifestyle and age Domestic Purchasing Power assumed a common consumer preference regardless of geographical location, and common occupational profile for all third-world cities 2012/7/31 10
11 UBS Framework: Discussion The wage data collected do not represent statistical averages; rather, data was limited to just a few companies for each profession and city 2012/7/31 11
12 EIU Framework Cost of living index is based on the arithmetic mean of price levels in the selected cities Weightings of the basket of goods in the cost of living index is indicative of the amount spent on products and services included in the index categories 2012/7/31 12
13 EIU Framework: Discussion Cost of living index is not available freely No information on domestic purchasing power available 2012/7/31 13
14 Mercer Framework Similar to EIU framework Ranks 300 cities according to their cost of living indexes 2012/7/31 14
15 ACI-LKY Framework Similar to UBS, both Cost of Living index and Domestic Purchasing Power index are formed Similar to EIU, weightings of the basket of goods is indicative of the amount spent on products and services included in the index categories Domestic Purchasing Power index is calculated using the World Bank International Comparison Program (WB ICP); WB ICP consumption basket is specific to individual countries 2012/7/31 15
16 ACI-LKY Framework Data used in the indices are obtained through EIU City database and the International Labour Organization (ILO) Occupational profile is not assumed to be constant for all cities, but based on the weighted average (by profession) of all data collected by ILO 2012/7/31 16
17 General Framework 3 Indices: Cost of Living Index for Expats Cost of Living Index for the Average Resident Purchasing Power of Wage for the Average Worker 2012/7/31 17
18 General Framework Cities covered: 109 cities (New York = base) Full data available for 100 cities For 9 cities (included in UBS index), assumed the relative positions of these cities wrt New York in 2009 UBS results unchanged 2012/7/31 18

21 Methodology: Cost of Living for Expats Used the EIU city database 284 data items 165 products and services (i = 1,, 165) 10 categories of products and services Similar to EIU Index calculation, the index values are calculated based on the arithmetic mean of price levels in the two selected cities; this ensures that the paradoxical situation of any two selected cities being more expensive than the other cannot arise 2012/7/31 21
22 Methodology: Cost of Living for Expats Within each category, index values for each data item are computed and multiplied by the weights attached to each data item in the category The sum of the weighted index (of data items) of each category gives the index value for the particular category Weights are then applied to the category indices and the sum of the weighted indices is the index value for the city 2012/7/31 22
23 Methodology: Cost of Living for Expats Applied identical set of weights for each category, to each city Category Weights Category Weights Food & Nonalcoholic Drinks 9.6% Personal Care & Doctor s 11.6% Fees Alcohol & Tobacco 3.1% Transport 10.5% Clothing 4.3% Recreation & Sports 8.8% Housing Rents & Utilities 17.3% Education 8.1% Household Supplies & Domestic Help 5.0% Miscellaneous 21.7% Set of weights are constructed from ICP data 2012/7/31 23
24 Methodology: Cost of Living for Expats For the miscellaneous category, UBS 2009 Services index values are used for UBS-cities; for non-ubs cities, ICP data is used to arrive at an index value for the category All data items converted to USD using the 2011 average exchange rate (data from Bloomberg) 2012/7/31 24
25 Methodology: Cost of Living for Expats Construction framework of index Compute average price of each product/service i of city j, AV ij Compute average price of each product/service i between New York and city j, AV ij _ NY Calculate the index of prices for each city j (including New York), AV AV / AV ij, NY ij ij _ NY Compute the index of each city j relative to New York (base), CP 100 AV / AV EIU ij ij, NY NYj, NY 2012/7/31 25

38 Methodology: Cost of Living for the Average Resident Construction framework follows 3 steps: Construct the overall price index at the national level, using data from ICP: NP ICP k _ US ( NP ICP k / NP ICP US ) *100 This shows how expensive the cost of living in country k is, compared to the US level (US=100). 2012/7/31 38
39 Methodology: Cost of Living for the Average Resident Construct the national and city level price index relative to the US and New York, respectively. In this step, assume that the national price level for country k, EIU NP k is simply the average of the price levels observed for its cities EIU CP kj i.e.: NP EIU k Average j ( CP EIU kj ) 2012/7/31 39
40 Methodology: Cost of Living for the Average Resident Constructing the city level price index relative to New York (New York=100): CLI kj CP CP EIU kj EIU NY ICP NP k ICP EIU ICP NP kj k US * US CP NP *100 * EIU EIU EIU NP CP k NY NPk US EIU NP US * /7/31 40
41 Methodology: Cost of Living for the Average Resident Note: CP CP EIU kj EIU NY is the cost of living index based on EIU data NP NP ICP k US EIU k US is the adjustment factor that takes into account the difference in data between the ICP survey (focusing on the average resident s consumption) and the EIU survey (aimed at the average expat s consumption) 2012/7/31 41
