FAQPage Schema
How do I structure an economics literature review across multiple databases?

Synthesize economics literature by generating structured summaries and evidence clusters, then positioning your contribution by identifying gaps. This framework helps draft related literature sections and evaluate papers systematically.

What is the best way to identify research gaps in economics papers?

Draft a related literature section by producing an outline and narrative from structured summaries and evidence synthesis. This approach organizes evaluated papers into clusters to highlight gaps and position your contribution clearly.

Do I need access to EconLit and NBER to perform a systematic literature search?

Yes, a systematic literature search requires a defined research question and access to EconLit, NBER, or Google Scholar to execute your keyword strategy, track forward and backward citations, and gather evidence across databases.

Can I use this framework to draft a related literature section for my paper?

Yes, you can draft a related literature section by producing an outline and narrative from structured summaries and evidence synthesis, organizing evaluated papers into clusters to highlight gaps and position your contribution clearly.
