Monitoring markets from space
Last week on VoxDev, @TCarnap (@UniOslo) & Anna Tompsett (@Stockholm_Uni) showed how tracking rural markets using satellite imagery offers a new way to monitor economic conditions in remote and data-scarce regions: voxdev.org/topic/methods-mea…

Our paper “Using satellite imagery to map rural marketplaces and monitor their activity at high frequency” is now published in Nature Communications, and VoxDev has published a summary.

Building on the method presented in the paper, we’re also launching market-activity.net. This dashboard allows users to see where we have detected marketplaces (>8,000 across Africa and Asia!), and to explore their activity patterns, including for very recent periods.

We've posted a new version of our working paper "Using satellite imagery to monitor remote rural economies at high frequency".
We track economic activity by measuring attendance in open-air marketplaces with near-daily imagery.
Three key takeaways:

3. The method can be used to learn about economic activity trends even when other data sources dry up, such as. We show an application to recent conflict in Ethiopia
