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.

A map. Because maps rock. US states renamed to countries with similar GDPs. Rebekah - 15/09/2011 03:28:54 PM 1160 Views

The services banks provide stimulate economic growth. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 09:40:11 PM 675 Views
Not the money that belongs to others, but Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 09:53:05 PM 741 Views
Closer to 190 times as many, actually. Ghavrel - 15/09/2011 09:37:53 PM 725 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 815 Views
Erm. Nate - 15/09/2011 09:55:08 PM 773 Views
Yeah, I don't see how those two figures are even similar tbh. *NM* Praziquantel - 15/09/2011 10:00:30 PM 278 Views
Still a huge enough difference to make you wonder about that map, though... Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:00:40 PM 769 Views
yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B random thoughts - 15/09/2011 10:08:24 PM 778 Views
That's exactly what it is, yes. *NM* Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:56 PM 366 Views

Re: yeah I was looking at the PPP number which is 259B Isaac - 15/09/2011 10:22:27 PM 696 Views
There's a flip side to that, too, though. Joel - 16/09/2011 04:31:06 PM 805 Views
I'd rather not have a political debate on the subject Isaac - 16/09/2011 05:51:50 PM 767 Views
I wasn't trying to make it political, honest. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:00:34 PM 754 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 987 Views
That's not all that similar! Vivien - 16/09/2011 12:43:10 AM 752 Views
Erm, nevermind. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:05:13 PM 737 Views
Hmm. Nate - 15/09/2011 10:10:55 PM 822 Views
Yeah, I started out by confusing Delaware with Rhode Island and it went from there. Legolas - 15/09/2011 10:20:09 PM 836 Views
I noticed the edit thing a while back Stephen - 15/09/2011 10:57:01 PM 625 Views
Yeah, think it's pretty much always been that way. Joel - 16/09/2011 08:55:03 PM 701 Views
