This paper compares standards of living between Canadian provinces and US states, using gross domestic product (GDP) per capita as a measure. It first discusses the framework of the analysis and the empirical issues involved, then presents results for provinces, states, and regions with regard to the standard of living and productivity. Appendices include discussion of the comparability of Canadian and US GDP measures.
