In the citing paper
“Here, we are guided by the Brynjolfsson, Hitt, and Yang (2002), who estimate that each unit of observable software and computer hardware is associated with roughly $12 (standard error $4) of firm market value, and Saunders and Brynjolfsson (2016), who found similar values.”

In the citing paper
“Brynjolfsson, Hitt, and Yang (2002) find that the total market value of measured computer capital investments is as much as $11.8 per $1 in measured expenditure, with a standard error of $4.025.”

In the citing paper
“If we assume an intangible multiplier of 10, somewhat lower than the levels estimated in Brynjolfsson, Hitt, and Yang (2002) and Rock (2019), then the net adjusted TFP level is over 12.4% higher than measured TFP at the beginning of 2017.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
