Econ Audit — Adversarial Econometrics Review

v1.0 — Adversarial reviewer that catches econometric specification errors, estimation mistakes, and silent analytical failures. Asks: "Will this produce correct economic conclusions?"

Review econometric code (Stata, R, or Python) for specification errors, estimation mistakes, and analytical choices that could produce wrong conclusions — even when the code runs without errors. This is the "hostile referee" for your analysis code.
