Model, Forecast and Advise Smarter with AI
An AI tool will happily invent a citation or a statistic if you let it. Here's exactly where it belongs in economic work instead.
A dozen papers to synthesise, a forecast round due next week — and you already know an AI tool will happily invent a citation or a statistic if you let it. This book shows exactly where AI belongs in economic work: literature synthesis, forecast commentary, policy translation, never the numbers. Meet the MODEL Protocol and 22 ready-to-use prompts. Built by an AI engineering firm for economists whose words move markets and policy — and need every number to be real.

- The MODEL Protocol — a five-part discipline for market-sensitive data and non-delegable judgement
- Two worked critiques of AI fabricating a citation and carrying forward an outdated statistic
