Abstract
In this study we use the Minimum Dominating Set (MDS) in order to identify a subset of states that can represent the initial network of the Gross State Product (GSP) growth rate of 51 US states (50 states and the District of Columbia). This subset can then be used as an auxiliary alert gauge when investigating the macroeconomic effects of GSP movements in inter-state studies or it can be integrated in forecasting models for the US GSP movements, reducing the volume of data needed for such an analysis.
