The Geary–Khamis dollar (also known as the international dollar) is a hypothetical currency.
As a function
Currency conversions involving PPP can be conceptualized as a 4?-place function taking as parameters:
- The source currency
- The target currency
- The location with respect to the PPP calculation?
- The year
Only after fixing all four parameters can the unit make sense next to a number.
Of these, the Geary–Khamis dollar partially fixes the parameters except the year.
Difference with the US dollar for a particular year
e.g. 2000 GK dollar vs 2000 US dollar
