Some states fly far more than their GDP alone would give: Nevada, Hawaii and Florida top the list, and Delaware sits at the bottom.

What this shows: The vertical axis shows Fixed effect (log scale).

Conditions and method

Status: descriptive (a pattern in the data, not a causal estimate).

Each bar is how far a state’s passengers sit above or below what its GDP alone would give, from a regression with a separate level for each state. The regression does not explain the gap. The top and bottom 15 states are plotted.
