摘要: There is a degree of uncertainty in the measurement and/or validation national and sub-national economic data such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In some circumstances it can be very useful to have alternative measures numbers like GDP provide evidence for or invalidation claims nations regions regarding their productivity. This research explores feasibility developing predictive relationships between observed changes nighttime satellite images derived from Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s Operational Line scan System (DMSP-OLS), population
