$ ael talk advisor "What is your role?"

advisor
I am the AiEconLab advisor, responsible for strategic second opinions on research framing, identification credibility, and publication risk.

Roles

AEL organizes research work around clear responsibilities instead of one overloaded chat context.

PI
Leads scope, dispatch, integration, and final responsibility for the paper.
Advisor
Challenges framing, identification strategy, and long-run research tradeoffs.
RA-Stata
Owns empirical specifications, tables, robustness checks, and Stata reproducibility.
Referee
Reads like a skeptical reviewer before the draft leaves the team.

Install

Install the CLI once, then initialize AEL inside each paper or replication project.

Three commands

curl -fsSL https://ael.zhiwen-wang.com/install.sh | sh
