If mcdonald’s makes big macs in china do we count this in gdp? yes or no? why?

answer:

something the big mac index fails to take into consideration is that while the inputs of the big mac and the way the big mac is manufactured and distributed is uniform across all countries, the costs associated with the labor to staff the stores, the cost of the storefront, additional costs within the franchise license to operate the mcdonald's restaurant and costs to import/acquire the inputs might be different across countries. this may sway the price of the big mac and throw off the ratio relative to the cost of the u.s. version.

explanation:

muslims have taken his goods and products to different parts of asia an indonesia. sometimes just traveled and trade, but in other occasions, stayed in the place and made a living.

trade was the key for muslims economies to prosper. their commerce routes reached far places like malaysia and java in the 11th century.

another important factor for prosperity was that muslim states served as the middle point for european traders.

they used to travel by land but sailing the seas -the indian ocean- really increase the exportation of products.
