Eh, not really. Central bank-controlled states are a reasonable grouping measure, which is why it's the US, EU, Switzerland, the UK, etc. that people compare (even though the UK is part of the EU, and Switzerland has signed on to most economic measures the EU mandates).

- humanrebar 10y agoIt's different enough. They are notable enough for their own wiki pages. Analysts spend their careers studying individual states. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Texas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Texas Maybe 'central bank control' is a reasonable grouping measure, but 'size of economy' is also reasonable. There is certainly more nuance than a simple ranking can model. And the 'central bank' argument is muddied by the existence of the Euro and the particular economic struggles of countries like Greece.
- noobermin 10y agoA central bank (and thus a state that can perform monetary policy) is important, but in many of these reports and rankings they do cut across the Eurozone. For example, this competitiveness report places Eurozone nations against one another in the ranking (see page 15 for the ranking, US is #3 behind Singapore and Switzerland).
