| 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.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
To keep the sustainability of the current project. Research funds will be allocated to pay for computing resources, data processing tasks, open access publishing, and presentations at international conferences. Nevertheless, Participation in international conferences may depend on COVID19 restrictions.
