Read the wiki context, empirical pages, project READMEs, and raw/notes/research-intent.md when present.
Generate an archived design document at wiki/outputs/empirical-design-{slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md with:
Research question
Literature positioning
Theory mechanism
Hypotheses
Variable design
Data sources and sample construction
Baseline model
Identification strategy and endogeneity risks
Mechanism tests
Heterogeneity tests
Robustness checks
Expected table structure
Data gaps
Next actions
Constraints:
Distinguish what the literature already did from what this project should do.
Be concrete about endogeneity risks and feasible remedies.
If local data are insufficient, list the missing fields rather than pretending the design is executable.
