Exploring all states

State rankings are evaluated across several dimensions: the size of the economy, development level and efficiency, and economic foundations. These dimensions provide a comprehensive view of each state's economic position. Additionally, fiscal sustainability is assessed through indicators such as government revenue, government expenditure, burdens, and public debt. These categories help determine a state's ability to maintain healthy public finances and manage economic challenges. By analyzing these factors, policymakers and stakeholders can gain valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each state, guiding efforts to enhance economic resilience and fiscal stability.

In depth analysis for states

An in-depth analysis of states to examine their economic resilience and fiscal sustainability involves evaluating various indicators and metrics. Economic resilience refers to a state's ability to anticipate, withstand, and recover from economic shocks. Key indicators include the size and diversity of the economy, employment rates, and the presence of robust industries. Fiscal sustainability, on the other hand, assesses a state's capacity to maintain healthy public finances over the long term. This involves analyzing government revenue streams, expenditure patterns, debt levels, and fiscal policies.
