Night lights from space: potential of SDGSAT‐1 for ecological applications

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 495-509, October 2025.
Our study emphasizes the importance of advancing ALAN monitoring from space for ecology and conservation, and it highlights the novel opportunities of SDGSAT‐1. We discuss shortcomings that need to be resolved and identify promising avenues for sound ecological impact assessments of ALAN on ecosystems using space‐borne remote sensing.

Landmines and Spatial Development

Econometrica, Volume 93, Issue 5, Page 1739-1778, September 2025.
Landmines affect the lives of millions in many conflict‐ridden communities long after the end of hostilities. However, there is little research on the role of demining. We examine the economic consequences of landmine removal in Mozambique, the only country to transition from heavily contaminated in 1992 to mine‐free in 2015. First, we present the self‐

Industrial Development, Poverty Reduction, and Inequality: A Robustness Test Using Nighttime Lights in Vietnam

Sustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 5820-5833, August 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the interplay between sectoral growth compositions, initial inequality, and poverty reduction in Vietnam during the 2000s, utilizing disaggregated provincial‐level data. The analysis focuses on the differential impacts of industrial and agricultural sector growth on poverty alleviation while also assessing the moderating ...
