Puts TX in pretty good shape though. Joel Send a noteboard - 16/09/2011 03:47:19 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.

Reminds me of those commercials a few years ago about how if TX were still independent it would have the tenth largest economy on Earth; if its GDP is comparable to Brazils it would be seventh now--but its population is only about 1/8th Brazils. I expect Rick Perry to print T-shirts reflecting these facts momentarily.... :P

that, and how do banks affect GDP? LadyLorraine - 15/09/2011 09:37:49 PM 540 Views
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 623 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 666 Views
Erm. Nate - 15/09/2011 09:55:08 PM 616 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 623 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 612 Views
Erm, nevermind. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:05:13 PM 588 Views
Hmm. Nate - 15/09/2011 10:10:55 PM 672 Views
Yeah, I started out by confusing Delaware with Rhode Island and it went from there. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:09 PM 685 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 553 Views
