This guide helps authors structure and strengthen their contribution claims for top-tier journals in economics and human resources. It emphasizes moving beyond simply stating new evidence by focusing on policy relevance, translating coefficients into natural human-capital units (like dollars or percentage points), and rigorously reconciling findings with prior literature to maximize impact.

A comprehensive guide for constructing and auditing empirical data pipelines, specifically tailored for high-impact journals. It covers advanced causal inference techniques (DID, RDD, IV, RCT), detailed sample management, robustness testing, and creating structured comparative estimates to withstand intense academic scrutiny.

A comprehensive guide for stress-testing causal identification in empirical microeconometrics. It covers advanced methods like RCT, DID, RDD, and IV, emphasizing robustness checks, identifying selection bias, and structuring results for clear public policy interpretation in high-impact academic journals.

This guide provides an advanced framework for positioning empirical research findings against established academic literature, particularly for high-impact journals. It instructs authors to move beyond simple citation by quantitatively reconciling differences in estimates (magnitude, sign, significance). By explicitly identifying disparities in sample design, population, or underlying mechanisms, this methodology significantly strengthens the paper's academic rigor and perceived contribution.

This comprehensive guide provides meticulous standards for presenting quantitative empirical results, particularly for academic journals like JHR. It covers the structure for main estimates, design diagnostics (pre-trends, balance), reconciliation tables, and organizing the online appendix. Learn how to maximize clarity and impact while adhering to strict page limits.

This tool guides researchers on whether their academic topic aligns with the scope of an empirical microeconomics journal, specifically the Journal of Human Resources (JHR). It emphasizes that the research must focus on policy-relevant, causal questions in core fields (e.g., labor, health, education), strictly differentiating it from purely organizational behavior or 'HR management' studies. It serves as a critical gatekeeper before formal submission.

This comprehensive guide provides rigorous methodological guidelines for executing and reporting empirical analysis on cross-national, multi-level, or panel data, specifically tailored for top-tier international business journals. It covers essential checks like measurement invariance (configural to scalar), Common Method Variance (CMV), dynamic endogeneity, and appropriate estimation techniques (e.g., Multilevel SEM, GMM), ensuring research meets the highest academic standards.

A specialized guide for structuring rigorous empirical studies, particularly for journals like JIBS. It helps researchers map their research phenomenon to the correct cross-country, multilevel, or panel design. Critically, it mandates planning for advanced econometric issues—including common-method variance, measurement equivalence, and dynamic endogeneity—at the initial design stage to ensure methodological rigor.

This guide provides comprehensive methodological frameworks for conducting rigorous empirical analyses in international trade and macroeconomics, particularly tailored to the standards of top-tier journals like the JIE. It covers assembling bilateral trade and cross-country panels, estimating gravity models using PPML, implementing local projections, and calibrating structural open-economy models. It ensures analyses are robust, replicable, and address common referee criticisms.

A comprehensive guide for constructing and validating cross-country and time-series panel data in international macro-finance. It addresses common pitfalls in measurement choices (e.g., gross vs. net flows, USD vs. NEER), sample period justification (e.g., GFC, ZLB), and frequency mismatch, ensuring methodological rigor required by top-tier journals.

Provides a comprehensive guide for structuring the robustness section of international macro-finance papers, specifically tailored for JIMF submissions. It maps empirical checks to named international-finance threats (e.g., US-centrism, global episodes, regime dependence) to ensure results are stable and credible. Covers advanced econometric techniques like Driscoll–Kraay and time fixed effects.

This skill acts as a comprehensive router for developing manuscripts intended for the Journal of International Money and Finance (JIMF). It guides authors through the entire research lifecycle, from initial topic selection and literature positioning to rigorous empirical design, robustness checks, figure creation, and final rebuttal planning. It ensures the paper meets the high standards required for open-economy macro-finance submissions.
