Highlighted credits
Suggested a new applicationHelped correct many errorsPublished in ScienceLed authors to write a corrigendumRefined a Nobel laureate's paperFounders thanked by name
“I particularly thank Refine.ink for a suggestion that led to a substantial expansion of the scope of the main result, including the application presented in Section 4.5.”
A Fixed-Prime Criterion for Reciprocals in Missing-Digit Sets
“I thank six thoughtful referees, Adrian Auclert, and attendees as the Stanford Macro Lunch for helpful comments. Refine.ink made helpful comments found many errors.”
Inflation Dynamics with a Generalized Lucas Phillips Curve
“We used Refine for manuscript feedback. [Acknowledged alongside two top scholars.]”
Integrative experiments identify how punishment affects welfare in public goods games
“The mistake in our approximation formula was found by refine.ink while reviewing a similar approximation result in a new working paper by two of the original authors.”
Corrigendum for "Lives vs. Livelihoods: The Impact of the Great Recession on Mortality and Welfare"
“We thank Tom Zohar, refine.ink, and seminar participants at Harvard Kennedy School and the RIDGE workshop on public economics for helpful comments and discussions.”
How do neighborhoods and firms affect intergenerational mobility?
“Ben Golub and Yann Calvó López's Refine app (https://www.refine.ink/) flagged inconsistencies and gaps in a preliminary draft.”
