23 September 2015 - Vatican City is a unique state in the world with a far from traditional economy that renders traditional economic analysis nearly useless against it. After all, GDP per capita is about $4 million compared to less than $100,000 in top ranked Norway. That's not a typo.

Vatican City is run by donations made by the Roman Catholic Church and Christians from around the world; the latter are commonly referred to as Peter's Pence. While it is known that a special Vatican City department collects and distributes the funds, Vatican City does not disclose details on the mangaement of its funds, further complicating efforts to understand it in standard economic terms. Apart from donations, Vatican City's other sources of revenue are more traditional and include tourism, international banking and financial operations, small manufacturing companies, and revenue from publications through the Vatican Publishing House.

The World's Largest Economy: China vs United States

Which is the world's largest economy, China or the United States? As is usual in the field of economics, “It depends.” It depends on the methods used to estimate the size of an economy and to compare one economy to another. Despite modern discussions on refining the calculation of gross domestic product (GDP), the standard measure of an economy’s size and performance, to be more inclusive of economic factors that have been ignored to date, such as environmental and natural resource depletion, there is no commonly accepted alternative to GDP. There are, however, at least two commonly...
