Usgovernmentspending.com has updated its individual state GSPs for 2019 and projected nominal and real GSP through 2025 for each state using the projected national GDP numbers from Table 10.1 in the Historical Tables for the Federal FY2021 Budget and the historical GDP data series from the BEA as a baseline.
As before we have projected individual state GSPs out to 2025 by applying a factor to reflect each state’s deviation from the national growth rate. (E.g. In 2014 the national real GDP expanded by 2.4 percent. But North Dakota grew by 6.3 percent, a deviation of nearly 4 percent. The deviation is reduced by 40 percent for each year after 2014, making the assumption that each state will slowly revert to the national norm.)
