Standard & Poors, Dec 2007
Abstract
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services annually selects its top 10 economic centers from more than 15,000 local, state, and regional governments rated in the U.S, and more than 340 in 27 other countries in the world.

Companies mentioned in this report are: Los Angeles,New York City,Chicago,Toronto (City of),Paris (City of),Milan (City of),Moscow,Madrid (City of),Greater London Authority,Yokohama (City of)
