AI Coding Agents Can Reproduce Social Science Findings
This paper introduces SocSci-Repro-Bench, a benchmark of 221 tasks to evaluate AI coding agents' ability to reproduce social science findings from original data and code. It finds that frontier agents like Claude Code and Codex can reproduce a large share of results, with Claude substantially outperforming Codex, and that results are not primarily driven by memorization.
