Skill UI

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 guide for establishing rigorous causal claims in law and economics. It details advanced econometric methodologies (DiD, RDD, IV, Event Study) required to defend the identification strategy—the mapping from a legal variation to the causal estimand—meeting the high standards of top academic journals.

A comprehensive guide designed to help researchers pre-empt the complex and specific objections raised by referees in law-and-economics journals like JLE. It addresses the unique requirements of single-blind review, focusing on institutional accuracy, methodological robustness, and structuring the manuscript to anticipate critical questions before submission.

A comprehensive guide to establishing credible causal identification in empirical law and economics (L&E). It addresses the high institutional bar required by top journals, detailing how to defend the source of variation (e.g., reforms, governance choices, court assignments) against common threats like endogenous timing, selection bias, and omitted variables. Covers advanced methods including staggered Difference-in-Differences (DiD), Instrumental Variables (IV), and Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD).

This guide provides best practices for designing tables and figures for economics manuscripts, specifically following the conventions required by journals like JLEO. It emphasizes foregrounding the institutional or organizational comparison, ensuring exhibits are self-contained, and converting implied arguments (like comparative statics or event studies) into visible, persuasive graphical evidence.

A guide for formalizing complex institutional arguments into rigorous, testable economic models, specifically tailored for submission to top journals like JLEO. It covers foundational lineages—such as transaction-cost economics, property rights, and principal-agent problems—teaching researchers how to right-size models, justify assumptions institutionally, and ensure comparative statics are the primary deliverable for empirical testing.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for building high-quality, statistically rigorous tables and figures for Journal of Marketing (JM) submissions. It emphasizes adhering to AMA house style, ensuring results display exact p-values, standard errors, and interpretable effect sizes, while strictly managing the 50-page manuscript budget.

A comprehensive guide for establishing rigorous identification strategies in monetary, banking, and macro-financial modeling. It details the standards required for publishing causal claims in top-tier journals (like JMCB), covering three branches: macro shock identification (SVAR), structural parameter identification, and micro-banking causal designs (e.g., staggered regulations). Learn how to defend against information effects, address endogeneity, and ensure policy relevance.

This guide provides a structured methodology for designing a comprehensive robustness suite for high-stakes academic papers, particularly in monetary economics and banking. Instead of running arbitrary checks, it maps diagnostic tests directly to named econometric threats (e.g., shock contamination, specification dependence, inference understatement, regime shifts), ensuring the credibility and rigor of empirical findings.

This guide details the rigorous identification methods required for submitting macro-financial papers to top-tier journals like the Journal of Monetary Economics (JME). It covers techniques such as separating pure monetary shocks from information effects, implementing various Structural VARs (SVARs), using local projections, and conducting model-based identification, ensuring your claims meet the highest academic standards.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting empirical or quantitative manuscripts to the Journal of Monetary Economics (JME). It details mandatory requirements for data deposition, model code (Dynare, MATLAB, Stata, R), master scripting, and adherence to Elsevier's generative AI declaration, ensuring maximum reproducibility and meeting high academic standards.

This comprehensive guide assists in developing rigorous research designs for family science. It covers quantitative methodologies (longitudinal, dyadic, life-course, event history), qualitative approaches, and mixed-methods integration. The focus is on strengthening the design's defensibility by explicitly addressing units of analysis, interdependencies, and critical statistical challenges like selection bias and non-independence.
