NBER paper introduces LLM workflow for functional form sensitivity analysis
Overview
Isaiah Andrews, Simon C. Essig Aberg, and Jesse M. Shapiro introduce an LLM workflow for functional form sensitivity analysis, according to a post on X linking to NBER working paper w35947.
The workflow asks how sensitive a headline finding is to the functional form chosen for a model.
The only source so far is the announcement post, which links to the paper and does not report results. Whether the workflow works as described, and what it finds in applied studies, is not yet reported.
