Powered by Eddy's Papers

Eduard Brüll at ZEW built the corpus this page searches and the matching that runs against it. It holds about 455,000 economics papers from RePEc and EconLit.

He runs two tools on that corpus himself. Eddy's Papers does semantic search over the literature, and Agentic Search takes a research brief and returns a literature review. The code is open source.
