Laterite deploys geospatial data, such as terrain, climate, population composition and density, nightlights, distances from roads and urban centers, the vegetation index, to augment insights from survey data.
Adding insights from geospatial data brings two advantages: it strengthens the insights from econometric analysis and allows for those insights to be geographically contextualized. This, in our experience, leads to high quality spatial predictions on development-related indicators.
