They mean their GDP in absolute numbers is close to the same size? Legolas Send a noteboard - 15/09/2011 08:10:00 PM
In cases like Ohio-Belgium, Washington-Denmark or Florida-Australia, the populations are more or less equal, so that means the comparison more or less works in terms of GDP per capita as well. Not so for others, like New York-Russia.

The services banks provide stimulate economic growth. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 09:40:11 PM 530 Views
Not the money that belongs to others, but Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 09:53:05 PM 624 Views
Closer to 190 times as many, actually. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 09:37:53 PM 583 Views
my backyard is bigger than Delaware and has more people in when I have a barbecue random thoughts - 15/09/2011 09:47:20 PM 667 Views
Erm. Nate - 15/09/2011 09:55:08 PM 617 Views
Yeah, I don't see how those two figures are even similar tbh. *NM* Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 10:00:30 PM 214 Views
Still a huge enough difference to make you wonder about that map, though... Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:00:40 PM 610 Views
yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B random thoughts - 15/09/2011 10:08:24 PM 624 Views
That's exactly what it is, yes. *NM* Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:56 PM 300 Views

Re: yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B Isaac - 15/09/2011 10:22:27 PM 545 Views
There's a flip side to that, too, though. Joel - 16/09/2011 04:31:06 PM 653 Views
I'd rather not have a political debate on the subject Isaac - 16/09/2011 05:51:50 PM 626 Views
I wasn't trying to make it political, honest. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:00:34 PM 594 Views
As Legolas says, that is essentially what PPP GDP is, and why I and others prefer it. Joel - 16/09/2011 03:59:41 PM 825 Views
That's not all that similar! Vivien - 16/09/2011 12:43:10 AM 613 Views
Erm, nevermind. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:05:13 PM 589 Views
Hmm. Nate - 15/09/2011 10:10:55 PM 673 Views
Yeah, I started out by confusing Delaware with Rhode Island and it went from there. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:09 PM 686 Views
I noticed the edit thing a while back Stephen - 15/09/2011 10:57:01 PM 482 Views
Yeah, think it's pretty much always been that way. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:55:03 PM 554 Views
