This project provides a "batteries-included" template for economists to produce fully reproducible research. It replaces fragile, manual workflows with a robust, automated pipeline.
Reproducibility is about your peace of mind. It means knowing that if you find a mistake in your raw data three days before submission, you can re-run your entire project—tables, figures, and paper—with a single command. It means your future self (and your co-authors) can understand and run your code on a new machine without spending a week fighting dependency hell.
Experience the reproducibility of this template in less than five minutes:
- Install Pixi (our only prerequisite).
- Clone this repository.
- Run and view the results:
# Data cleaning, analysis, plotting, etc
pixi run pytask
# View the research paper in your browser
pixi run view-paper
# View the presentation slides
pixi run view-presThese commands automatically handle environment setup, data cleaning, analysis, and launching the output servers.
