A comprehensive guide for researchers on developing robust and original economic topics, particularly within the context of Chinese industrial economics. It emphasizes structuring research around clean policy quasi-experiments, quantifiable empirical facts, and defining 3-5 distinct marginal contributions to ensure scholarly depth and avoid common pitfalls.

This guide provides expert recommendations on organizing supplementary material for academic papers. It teaches authors how to distinguish between load-bearing evidence (for the main text) and reassuring, secondary data (for the internet appendix). Proper indexing, cross-referencing, and material triage are critical for creating a lean, navigable, and highly persuasive manuscript.

This guide provides a structured framework for drafting professional rebuttals to academic conference reviews, such as ICASSP. It emphasizes the critical difference between correcting factual errors and addressing legitimate gaps. The focus must be on providing a clean rationale for the technical committee's acceptance, adopting a professional tone suitable for a single-blind review process, and anchoring all claims to the submitted material.

This strategy guides the rigorous writing of theoretical economics papers, emulating the standards of a Journal of Economic Theory (JET). It ensures that all assumptions are explicit and load-bearing, results are cleanly stated theorems, and proofs have a visible, expert-verifiable architecture. Use this when submitting a high-level theoretical paper where credibility relies on minimizing assumptions and maximizing procedural transparency for expert review.

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for assessing whether an economics manuscript is suitable for the Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE). It guides authors through evaluating the research scope (must be general-interest), evidence quality (requires clean natural experiments or quasi-experimental designs), narrative structure (leading with consequential findings), and adherence to rigorous academic submission standards.

A comprehensive guide for applied economics researchers to determine the optimal academic venue for their work. It helps users assess whether their contribution is a clean causal estimate, a measurement advance, or a pure method, ensuring the research question is framed appropriately for specific journals like REStat, AER, or AEJ:Applied.

This skill acts as a specialized guide for researchers submitting applied econometrics or empirical economics manuscripts. It helps authors assess the suitability of their work for the Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) venue. It emphasizes framing the contribution around careful identification, robust measurement, and clean design, rather than general interest, providing crucial pre-submission self-checks and identifying potential desk-reject risks.
