Abstract
Export statistics are one of the primary indicators for economic performance. In the digitalization era, the demand for real-time data published by official statistics, including export data, has escalated quickly. This paper explores nighttime-light (NTL) data as a proxy and as a tool to calibrate the export value of Indonesia at the sub-national level. The analysis uses a panel statistical regression from 2019 to 2021 to measure the value of exports by the province of origin and by the province of port loading.
