A Short Empirical Note on State Misery Indexes

Ryan Murphy ()

Journal of Regional Analysis and Policy, 2016, vol. 46, issue 2

Abstract: This paper constructs state level Misery Indexes, incorporating recent data on Regional Pricing Parities. As an application, it draws the Phillips curve derived from a panel of fifty states plus the District of Columbia in the years 2008 - 2011. A state level Misery Index will allow economists and the public to evaluate the overall macroeconomic picture of a regional economy, just as the Misery Index currently allows in the national and international context.
