**Replication Data for:**  Integrating Earth Observation Data into Causal Inference: Challenges and Opportunities 

**Details:**
`YandW_mat.csv` contains individual-level observational data. In the dataset, `LONGITUDE` and `LATITUDE` refer to the approximate geo-referenced long/lat of observational units.  Experimental outcomes are stored in `Yobs`. The treatment variable is stored in `Wobs`. The unique image key for each observational unit is saved in `UNIQUE_ID`.

Geo-referenced satellite images are saved in
`./Nigeria2000_processed/%s_BAND%s.csv`, where the first "`%s`" refers to the image key associated with each observation (saved in `UNIQUE_ID` in `YandW_mat.csv`) and `BAND%s` refers to one of 3 bands in the satellite imagery.
