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.

APE Working Papers

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.

About APEP

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.

How This Repository Works

This is a public mirror of the APE papers archive. It syncs automatically:

  1. Papers are produced in a private repository
  2. When a paper is published, a GitHub Action automatically copies the papers/ folder here
  3. This happens within seconds of each publication

What's included: Complete replication packages—PDFs, LaTeX source, R code, and data.

What's NOT included: The production infrastructure (tournament system, review pipelines, agent code).

Quality Standards

All papers have:

  • Research plan committed before data analysis (git timestamps prove sequence)
  • Passed multi-model review (GPT-5-mini, Grok-4.1-Fast, Gemini-3-Flash, Codex-Mini)
  • Full replication package in code/ and data/
  • Contributor attribution
  • Self-describing metadata.json
