What if we say:

There are many different ways of comparing the economy of one nation with another.

Then it should be "...with another's". I don't think anyone would write that way.

How about:

There are many different ways of comparing one economy with that of another.

Is it wrong grammatically?

It is grammaticaly correct. But we need to compare the economy of one nation, country etc with that (the economy) of another nation, country, etc.
