SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It converts your already-ingested empirical knowledge into a concrete research design that connects the literature to variables, data, identification, and an executable robustness plan—so you stop assembling study proposals from scratch.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workflow-aware empirical blueprint: Produces a full design covering research question, mechanisms, hypotheses, variable construction, data/sample strategy, baseline model, identification, mechanism checks, heterogeneity, robustness, and expected tables.
  • Traceable literature-grounding: Forces key claims to be tied back to specific wiki pages using cross-references like [[耐心资本]] to distinguish “literature precedent” from “project proposal”.
  • Data gap transparency: Flags missing local information explicitly and avoids pretending that insufficient data can support an identified plan.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to run /empirical-design with your current wiki context to generate a complete empirical research design and archive it under wiki/outputs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an empirical research design from existing literature notes?

To generate an empirical research design from literature notes, the Skill converts your ingested wiki of papers, variables, and datasets into a structured plan covering research questions through expected tables. It grounds key judgments by citing specific wiki pages.

What is an identification strategy in econometrics and how do I plan one?

An identification strategy in econometrics isolates causal effects from confounding factors. This Skill builds one by mapping your wiki's mechanisms and baseline models into a concrete plan that explicitly describes endogeneity risks and robustness checks.

How do I document data gaps when planning an econometric study?

To document data gaps during econometric study planning, the Skill flags missing local information transparently. It avoids pretending insufficient data can support an identified plan and lists specific gaps when local datasets fall short.

Can I use this for empirical workflows in accounting and finance research?

Yes, you can use this for empirical workflows in accounting, finance, management, and economics. It produces a workflow-aware blueprint spanning baseline models, mechanism checks, heterogeneity analysis, and expected tables for these fields.

How do I structure a robustness testing plan for a research proposal?

To structure a robustness testing plan for a research proposal, the Skill transforms your wiki context into an executable empirical blueprint. It defines mechanism checks, heterogeneity analysis, and identification strategies, then archives the output to a dated wiki file.

What is the best way to connect literature reviews to variable construction?

The best way to connect literature reviews to variable construction is by cross-referencing specific wiki pages like [[耐心资本]]. This Skill distinguishes literature precedent from project proposals, linking ingested papers directly to variable definitions and data samples.
