Unveiling Hidden Hardships: Leveraging Alternative Data to Map Multidimensional Vulnerability in the Central African Republic

This repository contains all data, scripts, and supporting materials required to fully replicate the empirical analysis, spatial indices, maps, and regression results presented in the paper. It combines alternative data sources to construct high-resolution (5×5 km) measures of economic capacity, service accessibility, and multidimensional vulnerability in the Central African Republic. The replication package is fully self-contained: all required inputs are provided, intermediary datasets are generated automatically by the scripts, and all figures, maps, and tables are reproduced in the output folder following the instructions below.
