UBS price data

Description

The international bank UBS produces a report on prices in major world cities every three years. This data.frame includes price data for a 1 kg loaf of bread, 1 kg of rice and for a Big Mac hamburger, for the years 2003 and 2009. All these prices are measured in the minutes of labor required by the typical worker in that country to buy the product, so it adjusts for currency, wages and price levels.
