Effect of climate and geography on worldwide fine resolution economic activity

S5 Fig. Maps of GCP-PC prediction departures for middle tercile. As in Fig 5 but for the middle tercile of the GCP-PC distribution. (PDF) S6 Fig. Maps of GCP-PC prediction for bottom tercile. As in Fig 4 but for the bottom tercile of the GCP-PC distribution. Compare with the actual GCP-PC in Fig 1. (PDF) S7 Fig. Maps of GCP-PC prediction departures for bottom tercile. As in Fig 5 but for the bottom tercile of the GCP-PC distribution. (PDF) S8 Fig. Maps of main climatic and geographic predictors. Geographical features of the six main climatic (meteorological) and geography predictors: latitude (top left, in˚), MSLP stan- dard deviation seasonal (top right, in hPa), distance from major rivers (middle left, in km), MSLP positive one-step (6-hour) change (middle right, in %), solar radiation median (bottom left, in W m-2), distance from lakes (bottom right, in km). There is no marked correlation between these fields and GCP-PC, with the highest linear correlation being with the median of solar radiation (0.45, see also Table 4). (PDF) Acknowledgments The author would like to thank computer scientist Dr Matteo de Felice for providing expert guidance on the use of statistical approaches. Expert economics feedback by Prof. Arjan Verschoor, Dr Don Gunasekera and Prof. Shaun Vahey were gratefully received. Thorough comments from three anonymous reviewers and a PLOS ONE Academic editor were also highly appreciated: these have led to considerable improvements in both the study and the readability of the paper.
