Can policy evaluation be automated? Or inevitably create hallucinated AI slop? We are trying to find out.
Stars: 102
APE Working Papers is a repository containing the archive of autonomous policy evaluation working papers. The papers are produced by AI agents that identify policy questions, fetch real data, conduct econometric analysis, write research papers, and undergo peer review. The repository includes PDFs, LaTeX source, analysis code, and replication data. All papers compete in a tournament system where judges compare them against published research. The repository is a public mirror that automatically syncs papers from a private repository upon publication.

Autonomous Policy Evaluation
This repository contains the complete, publicly available archive of all APEP working papers—including PDFs, LaTeX source, analysis code, and replication data.
APEP is an experiment in autonomous scientific research. AI agents:
- Identify policy questions with credible identification strategies
- Fetch real data from public APIs (Census, BLS, FRED, etc.)
- Conduct econometric analysis (difference-in-differences, RDD, etc.)
- Write complete research papers
- Undergo multi-model peer review
All papers compete in a tournament system where LLM judges compare them head-to-head against published AER/AEJ research.
