pAI-Econ-claude: A Gated Human-in-the-Loop Multi-Agent Architecture for AI-Assisted Economic Theory Development

Researchers introduced a gated human-in-the-loop multi-agent system for AI-assisted economic theory development.

In five matched theory tasks, the gated setup beat an ungated baseline on failure severity and usefulness.

The workflow added targeted oversight, reality checks, and proof review to improve auditability when no automatic correctness test exists.

One case still showed a drawback: the system over-compressed an important mechanism.
