1-km gridded datasets for gross domestic product of five key nodes along One Belt One Road (2015)

Gross domestic product (GDP) is a monetary measure of the market value of all the final goods and services produced in a period of time, which has been used to determine the economic performance of a whole country or region. We have collected the published GDP data, then obtained the 1-km gridded datasets for GDP of 2015 in five key nodes over Bengal and Myanmar, including Dacca, Chittagong, Kyaukpyu, Rangoon and Mandalay. To solve the problem of missing data existing in the current datasets, we will apply kriging and function interpolation methods to fill gaps. We will also develop the multi-source data fusion method based on geostatistics to achieve the GDP predictions of time continuously and high spatial resolution.
