Skill UI

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for academic writers aiming to submit manuscripts to specialized international economics and trade journals. It helps users assess their paper's alignment with the target journal's scope, key research themes (e.g., open economy, GVCs, cross-border e-commerce), required methodology (e.g., empirical models, international comparability), and structural standards. It is crucial for preventing manuscript rejection due to scope mismatch or formatting errors.

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.

This guide provides comprehensive, advanced econometric strategies for ensuring robust identification in international economics manuscripts, specifically for high-impact journals. It covers modern approaches for gravity models (using PPML), staggered trade-policy shocks (Callaway-Sant'Anna), shift-share analyses, and structural open-economy modeling. It helps authors stress-test their research designs against rigorous academic standards.

A comprehensive guide for establishing rigorous causal claims in international macro-finance. This skill addresses complex econometric challenges such as global confounders, policy endogeneity, and high-frequency surprises in open-economy models. It provides methodologies for cross-country panel data, capital control analysis, and advanced inference, ensuring results meet the high standards of top-tier international finance journals.

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.

A comprehensive skill for researchers targeting top international economics journals, such as the Journal of International Economics. It provides detailed guidelines on content fit, structuring arguments, required quantitative modeling rigor (e.g., credible identification, counterfactuals), and adherence to current academic house styles for international trade, open-economy macro, and finance research. Use this for venue selection and pre-submission self-checking.

This skill is a specialized academic tool designed for authors targeting international finance and open-economy journals. It guides manuscript authors through journal positioning, scope alignment, required econometric methodology (e.g., addressing endogeneity and non-stationarity), and specific house style mandates. It helps authors determine if their research is a strong fit for the Journal of International Money and Finance (JIMF) and provides actionable advice on potential re-routed venues or submission improvements.

This comprehensive skill provides a detailed guide and heuristic checklist for authors targeting the Journal of International Trade. It helps users evaluate their manuscript's fit across multiple dimensions, including open economy focus, empirical methodology, global value chain analysis, and trade policy relevance. It serves as a crucial pre-submission tool to optimize structure and increase the chances of acceptance in top international economics journals.

A comprehensive guide for advanced empirical research in open economies. It outlines best practices for establishing causal inference by anchoring identification strategies in external or institutional shocks (e.g., tariffs, trade agreements, exchange rate reforms). The guide emphasizes modern critiques of standard methods like shift-share and gravity models, providing detailed protocols for DID, Bartik decomposition, and IV estimation to meet top-tier academic journal standards.

This comprehensive guide details professional standards for presenting complex empirical economic results (tables and figures) for top-tier journals like The Journal of World Economy. It instructs users on simplifying main regression tables, standardizing notes (clustering, significance), and correctly presenting specialized open-economy objects such as event studies, gravity regressions, and GVC decompositions, ensuring research meets publication quality.

This guide helps researchers elevate vague global trends into rigorous, open-economy causal questions suitable for high-impact journals. It teaches methodology for identifying clear treatments, measuring international exposure (e.g., GVC, trade dependency), and defining precise counterfactuals within a general equilibrium framework.

This advanced analytical skill focuses on rigorously identifying and testing the specific transmission channels through which external shocks affect an economy. Essential for high-impact international economics research, it moves beyond descriptive mechanism narratives by focusing on testable proxies across trade, investment, finance, and expectation channels. It requires advanced econometrics (e.g., mediation analysis, sample splitting) and careful identification strategy to ensure causal claims are robust.
