This guide assists researchers in structuring and rigorously developing the economic model or mechanism for academic papers. It provides best practices for moving beyond mere empirical findings, ensuring that every result is tied to a clear, testable economic theory, whether through minimal-model discipline or full general equilibrium analysis. Essential for submissions to top-tier economics journals.

A comprehensive skill guide designed to help researchers assess the suitability of their economics manuscripts for submission to 《Economic Review》. It covers journal positioning, required empirical rigor, structural expectations (abstract, citation style), common rejection pitfalls, and advice on necessary revisions and alternative journals. This tool is crucial for navigating academic publishing standards in Chinese economics.

This guide outlines the creation of a complete, verifiable research package for economic policy manuscripts. It ensures that all empirical, experimental, or simulation results are fully reproducible by providing raw data guides, cleaning scripts, analysis code, and a single 'master' script that runs end-to-end. This process is critical for academic acceptance, allowing reviewers and discussants to independently verify every figure, table, and key number reported in the paper.

This tool helps researchers diagnose whether their empirical or theoretical result meets the high standards required for top-tier academic journals like Econometrica. It guides users to evaluate the generality, methodological novelty, and theoretical depth of their work, ensuring the contribution is a generalizable estimator or theorem, not merely an application.

This skill guides researchers on how to position a new econometric theorem by rigorously comparing it against the existing theoretical literature frontier. Instead of a general survey, it requires defining the 'delta'—the specific element (e.g., weaker assumptions, broader scope, generalization) that distinguishes the new result from prior work, using formal APA author-date citations. Essential for high-level academic manuscripts.

This comprehensive checklist guides researchers through the detailed formatting and technical requirements for submitting manuscripts to the Econometric Theory journal via ScholarOne/Manuscript Central. It covers critical points such as creating a single embedded-font PDF, adhering to APA author-date referencing, maintaining single-anonymous identity, and managing the article length ceiling (50 pages). Use this before final submission to avoid common rejection reasons.

This guide helps researchers determine if their econometric result is a general, foundational theory contribution (such as asymptotics or proofs) or merely an applied estimate. It provides a framework for assessing theoretical rigor, identifying generalizations, and deciding whether the work fits a full Article or a concise Miscellanea, ensuring proper submission targeting for top-tier journals.

This guide provides comprehensive standards for conducting and reporting rigorous empirical and simulation evidence in econometrics. It covers designing Monte Carlo simulations, creating minimum evidence maps, ensuring reproducibility through detailed logging, and linking theoretical claims directly to finite-sample evidence. Essential for high-level statistical research.

This guide outlines the rigorous standards required for submitting econometrics papers to top-tier academic journals. It focuses on ensuring the integrity of identification assumptions, linking theoretical claims to empirical data, structuring proofs correctly, and anticipating referee critiques (e.g., object drift, assumption opacity). Essential for advanced academic researchers writing methods papers.

This guide helps researchers determine the optimal publication venue for their econometrics research. It provides detailed rules for assessing whether a paper's contribution is best suited for The Econometrics Journal (EctJ), a general econometrics journal, a theory journal, or a specific field journal. It emphasizes distinguishing between methods with leading-case applied value, purely theoretical proofs, and general empirical findings to improve publication chances.

A highly specialized guide for revising academic econometrics manuscripts for submission to top journals like EctJ. It focuses on extreme conciseness, structural adherence (e.g., 150-word summaries, 20-page limits), and maximizing the impact of core findings over background detail. This skill helps authors transform diffuse research into compact, publishable, and highly focused academic prose.

This guide outlines best practices for achieving high levels of research reproducibility for academic papers, particularly in database and systems research. It details methods for pinning dataset versions, logging system environments, mapping empirical claims to verifiable evidence, and structuring availability statements. Adherence ensures the work is robust, transparent, and fully verifiable by the scientific community.
