Our technology provides optimal solutions for decision makers

Spatial analysis Eval-set

EVAL-SET performs socioeconomic spatial evaluation of projects where the geographical dimension, population location and mobility are relevant variables for solving the problem.

Advantages:

1. 1. Combine and analyse complex data (geographical, demographic, economic and social)
   2. Possibility to run different scenarios and forecasts
   3. Visually appealing and easily-understandable

Example: incorporating into the model the information on the number of households with kids at school age, their location, logistic information, public bus service and its future projection provides the optimal location of the school that best suits the criteria that policy makers would like to address: minimum distance, maximum coverage.

Smart TIO

(Funded by CDTI, GAIN and support from the Ministry of Science and Innovation)

One of the tools in policy evaluation  which AYeconomics develop is based on the Input Output analysis. This tool is funded by CDTI and support from the Ministry of Science and Innovation, and also from the Axencia Galega de Innovación (GAIN). 

These evaluation tools, i.e. input-output tables, and their associated multisectoral models are extremely useful for impact and evaluation analysis, which can guide the evaluation of local and regional policies and, in turn, advise public and private administrators. Although it is a very powerful tool for the private and public sector, the cost of producing this tool tends to be quite high due to the fact that they are quite demanding on data. For countries with data scarcity and sparsity, as Central Asian countries, the cost is even higher and much more difficult to build. The adaptation of AYeconomics technologies will allow us to provide this evaluation tool for a reasonable cost. This tool has been mainly applied to developed countries, so it’s really important to account for developing countries’ specificities such as informal economy and how this can affect our methodology effectiveness. 

The SMART-TIO innovations proposed by AYeconomics would be:

• Regionalization and update included in the application or platform itself.
• Intuitive way of use that does not require previous computer knowledge.
• Easy interpretation of the results by social actors in developing countries with little information.
