Why papers are included
Priority is given to foundational methods, representative applications, critical comparisons, and papers that reveal limitations. Inclusion does not imply endorsement of every conclusion.
EDITORIAL METHODOLOGY
Editorial Methodology and Evidence Standards
The site uses a common structure—research question, method, evidence, and boundary—to avoid turning algorithmic performance directly into economic conclusions.
Why papers are recommended in a survey section
Every core reading plays a defined role: field synthesis, foundational method, representative application, validation framework, or frontier research infrastructure.
Content depth
Editorial depth records how completely a paper has been processed by the project; it is not a judgment of academic quality.
Evidence types are not interchangeable
Behavioral similarity, measurement validity, causal validity, and out-of-sample prediction require different validation strategies.
Updates and review
Important content is curated and reviewed with version and source status. Automated metadata tools support maintenance but do not publish academic claims without review.
