1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

From the perspective of historical review, the methodology of economics develops from qualitative to quantitative, from a small sampling of data to a vast amount of data. Because of the superiority in learning inherent law and representative level, deep learning models assist in realizing intelligent decision-making in economics. After presenting some statistical results of relevant researches, this paper systematically investigates deep learning in economics, including a survey of frequently-used deep learning models in economics, several applications of deep learning models used in economics. Then, some critical reviews of deep learning in economics are provided, including models and applications, why and how to implement deep learning in economics, research gap and future challenges, respectively. It is obvious that several deep learning models and their variants have been widely applied in different subfields of economics, e.g., financial economics, macroeconomics and monetary economics, agricultural and natural resource economics, industrial organization, urban, rural, regional, real estate and transportation economics, health, education and welfare, business administration and microeconomics, etc. We are very confident that decision-making in economics will be more intelligent with the development of deep learning, because the research of deep learning in economics has become a hot and important topic recently.
