An interestingsrght greets visitors to the FatherlandLiberation \Ahr Victory Memorial in downtown Pyong-yang. Every citizen is aware of what it is: the Pueblo, aU.S. naval intelligence vessel seized by the North Kore-ans in 1968, and now moored on the Potong River.

The story of the Pueblo is well-known to anyone in-terested in Korean contemporary history or the interna-tional politics of the Cold lAhr era. On January 23, 1968this small and otherwise rather unremarkable ship wason an intelligencegathering mission ofi the east coastof the Korean Peninsula, where it was approached byNorth Korean vessels, boarded and captured.

The North Korean govemment continues to maintainthe Pueblo violated North Korean waters, while Ameri-cans insist that events unfolded in internationalwaters.\Mrerever it happened, the seizure of the Pueblo waspart of a drive by the North Koreans to escalate tensionsin the region.

Stanford Report

Stanford economist Yong Suk Leefound that North Korea's dictatorshipcounters the effects of internationaleconomic sanctions by reallocatingresources to urban centers and awayfrom poor, rural areas. The research in-volved the use of satellite lightsdata todetermine econom ic activity.

The govemment of North Korea

__ _Shifts-fte lUrden of intq@atiqla! sa.nc-tions away from the cities and to thecountryside, according to Lee.

The North Korean regime has ad-justed to international sanctions byshifting that economic pain away fromcities to the countryside, new Stanfordresearch using satellite night lights datashows.

U.S. policy toward North Korea hasbeen based on the expectation thateconomic sanctions could deter NorthKorea from developing nuclear weapons or change the behavior of the re.gime, according to Lee, an economistat the Freeman Spogli lnstitute for ln-temational Studies.

Since 1950, both the United Statesand the global community have ad-opted a series of economic sanctionsagainst North Korea. The latest camein 2013 when the United Nations ap-proved restrictions on banking, traveland trade in response to N.orth Korea'sunderground nuclear test and threat tolaunch nuclear strikes against the Unit-ed States and South Korea.

ln a working paper, Lee examinedhow North Korea's Communist rul-ers have adapted to the increasinglytougher sanctions through the years.

North Korea is one of many auto-cratic regimes that refuse to yield tosanctions, and its isolation and heredi-tary dictatorship make it a particularlygood example to study the impact ofeconomic sanctions in autocratic re-gimes, said Lee, the SK Center Fellowand a member of the Korean StudiesProgram at Stanford's \Ahlter H. Sho-renstein Asia-Pacific Research Center.

North Korea is one of the poorestcountries in the world, Lee noted. ltsleaders follow an economic model

sumption of goods and services as wellas transportation. And some produc-tion activities happen during the eveninghours.

"E@nomists have found that howbright night lights are can predict na-tional and sub-national GDP quite well,especially in countrieswhere GDP datais not reliable,'he said.

Lee found that economic sanctionsdecreased luminosity in the hinterlands,but increased luminosity in urban areas,especially toward the centers. As forwhether additional sanctions affectedluminosity, he found they increased theurban-rural luminosity gap by about 1

percent. \A/hen he examined the more

as long as North Korea can maintainpowerful centralized control and oppress any discontent that arises due toincreasing inequality,' he said.

Lee added that sanctions will mostlikely not deter North Korea's nuclearweapons activities. They have notdoneso yet, and at this point, North Korea'sleaders view sanctions as inconve-niences, but not regime-threatening.

Plus, even the harshest sanctionswould be unlikely to stem the flow ofall goods, energy and money into NorthKorea. Not all countries would go alongwith draconian trade restrictions thathurt the poorest people the hardest,Lee said.

Satellite lights-study shows sanctionsagainst NKorea create urban-rural divide

based on a centrally planned economyand self-imposed isolation from the restof the world.

Lee's research was based on night-time views of lights from datia collectedby the U.S. Defense MeteorologicalSatellite Program. The researcher cre-ated "average luminosity" measures oflights across North Korea based on a1-mile-by-1-mile grid for the years 1 992through 2010. Usage was examirredfonbrightness on one-minute intervals.

To predict the impact of sanctions oneconomic activity in North Korea, Leeused a formula that transformed the lu-minosity measures into GDP measures.For example, a 1 0 percent change in thesatellite lights is associated with about a3 percent change in GDP.Accordingto Lee,

satellite data isof greatest util-ity in assessingthe economiesof cities and re-gions in the de-veloping world.ln a country likeNorth Korea,a large part ofeconomic activ-ity happens dur-ing the eveningand night andinvolves light.

For example,lights at nightare generatedby peoples'con-

central urban areas, the gap increasedby about 2.6 percent.'The results suggest that the dictator-ship countered the effects of sanctionsby reallocating resources to urban ar-eas," Lee said. One could surmise thatthe economic sanctions do not affedtrecountry's leadership much, he said.

The hinterlands responded to declin-ing economic fortunes by relying moreon trade with China near those borderareas, Lee added. ln fact, the sanctionsgenerated more North Korean migra-tion to China and reliance on Chinesemerchants and goods. North Korea'sborder with China is relatively porousas opposed to its heavily militqrizeLborder with South Korea.

The upshot, Lee said, is that sanc-tions that fail to change the behavior ofan autocratic regime may eventually in-crease urban-rural inequality.

"Sanctions will likely be inefficient
