Night-time lights (NTL) emitted from residential areas, entertainment places, industrial facilities, etc., and captured by satellites have become an increasingly recognized proxy for on-ground human activities. Compared to traditional indicators supplied by statistical offices, NTLs may have several advantages. First, NTL data are available all over the world, providing researchers and official bodies with the opportunity to obtain estimates even for regions with extremely poor reporting practices. Second, in contrast to non-standardized traditional reporting procedures, the unified NTL data remove the problem of inter-regional comparability. Finally, NTL data are currently globally available on a daily basis, which makes it possible to obtain these estimates promptly. In this book, we provide the reader with the contributions demonstrating the potential and efficiency of using NTL data as a proxy for the performance of regions.Research & information: generalbicsscpopulation reorganizationpopulation densityspatiotemporal patternsDMSP-OLSNPP-VIIRSChongqingeducation inequalitynighttime lighturbanizationsustainable developmenthuman developmenturban hotspot delineationZipf's lawintra-urban scalingstreet nodesVIIRS imagerykernel density estimationLuojia 1-01 satellitespatial resolutionsearching radius thresholdurban built-up areaattention-augmented CNNnightlightfine-grained GDP estimationdaytime satellite imageryarbitrary area representationLuojia 1-01MNUACIurban areaurban remote sensingVIIRSDMSPGDPnighttime lightscross-sectionaltime-serieseconomic statisticsfunctional urban areas (FUAs)boundariesmultiple regression modellingartificial light-at-night (ALAN)optimal thresholdshadow economyIransanctionsJCPOAeconomic inequalitynighttime light emissionsspatial measurementResearch & information: generalRybnikova Nataliyaedt1326287Rybnikova NataliyaothBOOK9910566458703321Nighttime Lights as a Proxy for Economic Performance of Regions3037267UNINA
