Nation’s GDP as US States, China Provinces

By Barry Ritholtz - March 21st, 2011, 3:00PM

Way back in 2007, I found this obscure chart from The York Group on a Norwegian blog, posted previously as Countries GDP as US States.

The Economist has not only dug up this map, but went it one better, doing the same for China’s provinces that was done for the US. Here are both of their versions:

Barry,

Big fan of the blog and read it everyday. Actually did something a little similar based on Budget Gaps for the USA http://richartruddie.blogspot.com/2011/02/map-of-usa-rearragned-by-budget-gaps.html
Might not be up to par with The Economist yet but I do believe it’s a nifty project I did one day + I gave you a shout out for the inspiration.
