A Pixel-scale Corrected Nighttime Light Dataset (PCNL, 1992-2021) Combining DMSP-OLS and NPP-VIIRS
We proposed a set of DMSP-OLS and NPP-VIIRS inter-correction methods and produced a pixel-scale corrected nighttime light dataset (PCNL, 1992-2021). Two sets of reliable global nighttime light datasets were chosen as the basis.

Using Nighttime Luminosity as a Proxy for Economic Growth in Africa: Is It a Bright Idea?
In this paper, we question whether night light luminosity data can be used as an alternative measure of GDP in 49 African countries. For this to be proven true, evidence of significant relationships between night light data and GDP time series variables
