    Description

    Per Capita Net State Domestic Product (Per Capita NSDP) measures the average economic output generated per person within a specific state or region after accounting for the depreciation of capital assets. It is calculated by dividing the Net State Domestic Product (NSDP), which represents the total value of goods and services produced within a state, by its population. Unlike Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), which reflects the overall production without considering depreciation, NSDP provides a more accurate representation of the state's sustainable economic output. The per capita element offers insight into the average living standards and productivity of individuals within the state, making it a valuable indicator for comparing economic performance across regions and assessing the financial well-being of residents. Higher Per Capita NSDP typically indicates better economic conditions and higher living standards, though it doesn't account for income inequality or distribution within the population.
