| Outline of Research at the Start |
In this study, I test the degree of cross-country divergence in sustainable development by integrating a new hierarchical clustering algorithm from the unsupervised machine learning literature.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
- Publication of 5 international peer-reviewed articles.
- Awards: (1) Top Cited Article Award 2020-2021 from the Review of Development Economics; (2) Top Cited Article Award 2020-202 from the Regional Science Policy and Practice journal; (3) Encouraging Award from Japan Section of the Regional Science Association International.
- Academic presentations at 2 international conferences.

| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The availability of new satellite and regional data has facilitated the discovery of research results. These results have been positively evaluated at conferences and by journal referees. However, COVID-19 has limited my participation in international conferences.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
National and subnational analyses of inequality and convergence will continue being implemented using satellite data. These data and related analyses are expected to complement my perviously published results.
