Economics Literature Synthesis
Systematically gathers, evaluates, and synthesizes economic literature and working papers for Annual Review of Economics surveys.
Guides academic researchers through systematically gathering, mapping, and synthesizing research papers for review articles such as the Annual Review of Economics (ARE). It enforces rigorous coverage discipline—including forward and backward citation snowballing, keyword and JEL-code sweeps across EconLit/NBER/SSRN, and saturation logging—while building structured evidence matrices to critically compare findings, estimands, and research credibility without leaving citation gaps.
