The Effects of Generative AI on High-Skilled Work: Evidence from Three Field Experiments with Software Developers

Catalog evidence and recorded chart appearances. Inclusion is not an endorsement.

Source snapshot imported 2026-10-20. This is not a live feed. Source and contributions.

Evidence and limits

Finding: Pooled results associated coding-assistant access with a 26.08% increase in completed tasks, with higher adoption and gains among less experienced developers.

Impact: Watch as counterevidence to 022. Strengthen context, experience, adoption, and task-mix reporting.

Boundary: The experiments are noisy individually, use completed-task measures, and do not resolve code quality or long-term maintenance. Next: which design differences explain the opposite productivity directions in 022 and 023?

Flags: preprint; pooled organization and adoption effects

Record State: Catalog review recorded; not a performance endorsement

What was reviewed: Structure and relevance screened; not a full evaluation
