Abstract
This research investigates the spatial distribution of global economic activity, focusing on the shift of economic factors between coastal and interior areas. Using nighttime light data and a random forest algorithm, the study reveals a "coastal remoteness" evolution pattern, where the global GDP proportion within 100 km of coastlines decreased from 67.25% in 2000 to 63.02% in 2018. The reduction in overseas transportation costs and diseconomies of scale in coastal areas are identified as primary drivers. Intercontinental differences in economic development patterns are also highlighted.
