If you compare the GDP of Texas with the GDP of Singapore, which economy is bigger?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

By comparing the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Singapore in 2008 to the Gross State Product (GSP, the state equivalent of GDP) Texas is the larger of the two.
GPD/GSP Comparison
Singapore GDP 2008: $182 Billion USD
Texas GSP 2008: $1.224 Trillion USD
Population Comparison
Singapore: 4,839,400
Texas: 24,782,302
Per Capita GDP/GSP Comparison (no age metrics used)
Singapore: $37,607.97 per person
Texas: $49,390.08 per person
Based solely on GDP/GSP statistics Texas is the larger economy in dollars.

Background: I am a recently graduated undergraduate student of Economics. I have received my Bachelor's with honors in Economics and will be continuing my education (pursuing a PhD in Econ) in the Fall.
What is your Phd thesis going to be?
Will you answer my money questions?
I have a ton of questions under money. The questions are challenging but I think you would find the angles interesting. The key to my questions is to look at the complex picture. I think in a systematic method and connect correlations.
I hoping that soon that energy cost will begin to drop as new energy technology emerges. While the dooms-dayers are running rapid and the financial markets look unstable, I see the potential for at least 50 years of rapid growth due to cheap energy. I'm inspired by power law curve fitting predictions by Dieder.
Will you introduce yourself and your knowledge background?
