Not sure if this will help, but in the absence of other responses I'll chip in with my memory of the fact that there is something called the "Big Mac index". I looked at the Wikipedia entry for this, and it led me to a page which described various economic indices. Start at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Index_numbers. and the subcategory economic indicators.
The entries for standard of living and purchasing power parity are also useful.

http://www.nationmaster.com is always a good start for international comparisons in the absence of specific links.
