Check Methodology
Run a deep causal inference review of the thesis methodology. The optional argument specifies a focus area.
Instructions
- Read the methodology chapter:
thesis/chapters/04_methodology.tex
- Read the results chapter:
thesis/chapters/05_results.tex
- Read the causal inference rule:
.claude/rules/causal-inference.md
- Perform the full review per the causal-inference agent instructions
Focus Areas (optional argument)
identification — Focus on parallel trends, exogeneity, and threats
twfe — Focus on TWFE validity and heterogeneous treatment concerns
shift-share — Focus on Bartik instrument conditions (BHJ, GPSS)
inference — Focus on clustering, small-cluster corrections, spatial correlation
robustness — Focus on sensitivity checks and what additional checks are needed
- No argument — Full comprehensive review
Output
Return the structured review report with priority recommendations.
