Explanation of Solution

National economic indicators are better indicators of the economic health of a country than the state economies because state economies are concerned with their regions only. The local, political or economic fluctuations only affect those areas or nearby areas and therefore are less important at the central level. They do not provide the perfect picture at the macro level to the economist. If the economist wants to get the information about the whole country, then he has to give importance to indicators like GDP, Employment level, per capita income, health status etc. at a central level which engulfs the average of all the states.

NO doubt, states economies are also important and are the pillars of any central economy but wider picture is shown by only the national economies.
