Experiment Registry

When to Use

• After EVERY regression run
• To track which specification produced which result
• Before robustness checks (review prior results)

Protocol

1. Check if Registry Exists

Look for docs/_EXPERIMENTS.md. If missing, create with header:

# Experiment Registry

| ID | Date | Spec | DV | Key IV | N | R-sq | Key coeff (SE) | Sign match? | Table file |
|----|------|------|----|--------|---|------|----------------|-------------|------------|

2. Append After Every Regression

| 1 | 2024-03-15 | Main OLS | ret_excess | ai_score | 12,345 | 0.045 | 0.025** (0.010) | YES | output/tables/C5_main.tex |

3. Before Robustness Checks

Read the registry to understand baseline results and check for consistency.
