Scatterplot of Night Light Energy & PPP of GDP for 208 nations

Global map of Marketed Economic Activity as measured by Nighttime Satellite Image Proxy

Motivation Question: Why estimate Known GDP values with Nighttime Satellite Imagery? Answer #1: Because it would be interesting if it is possible to do. Answer #2: If these methods are developed they may provide estimates of GDP in nations with large informal economies (e.g. Mexico?) Answer #3: Also, they may provide independent estimates of economic activity in places where ‘official’ numbers are suspect

Data and The “Cheeze-Ball” Statistics Trick: “Regional Parameters” Applied to China, Turkey, U.S., and India (China example below) Dummy Code the “Region” parameter derived from Residuals (definitely cheating); However, then apply the derived regression parameters do a different TIME.

Apply Non-Linear Areal Extent vs. Population rule for cities to GDP estimates… Light ‘Blobs’ are Population ‘Blobs’ are Money (GDP) ‘Blobs’ Why not model them that way?

Aggregate Estimates of National GDP by Summation of State/Canton estimates Note: GDP numbers all in different currencies

Discussion These methods do not work well enough for much of anything yet…. “Learn by Losing”…….. In Turkey Istanbul was underestimated and Ankara was over-estimated (Primate & Capitol City effects?) Ankara 41% Too High (capitol city effect?) Istanbul 53% Too Low (primate city effect?)

Conclusions… Future Avenues of Investigation…. Interpret the residuals and use that information. Convert all GDP data to gold standard currency like perhaps the EURO. Increase the “Dummy Coding” (Is this legit?) Want to work on this? Send me an , I’ll send you the data:

Acknowledgements Without Chris Elvidge at NOAA’s NGDC there might not be any DMSP OLS derived data products. I am working with Chris Elvidge and others to develop better estimators of GDP using this imagery and other relevant information. Sharolyn Anderson and others with Grid command of doom: Zoldor = int(exp((float(floatnat30int) / 1000) + (float(nat30slope) / 1000) * (float(lnclustarea30) / 1000) / float(clustarea30))
