This project is a links-first discovery terminal for academic economics papers. It surfaces recent work from curated sources and explains why each paper appears through deterministic metadata chips, not author prestige or opaque scoring.
The app is tuned for daily scanning in applied microeconomics fields, starting with labor, public finance, and education. The interface is meant to make source, field, method, dataset, JEL, and version signals visible without turning them into a research quality score.
V1 uses NBER, CEPR, World Bank Policy Research Working Papers, the top-five economics journals, AEA field journals, and selected field journals. OpenAlex is intentionally left out as a discovery source until it is evaluated for enrichment or deduplication.
The project avoids claims that one paper is better than another. Relevance chips are deterministic source and metadata labels, and the app stores source links rather than downloaded PDFs.
