Skill UI

This skill is designed to assess the suitability of international macroeconomics and finance manuscripts for the IMF Economic Review. It evaluates the paper's fit, theoretical rigor, evidence quality, and adherence to open-economy principles. It provides crucial pre-submission self-checks, potential desk-reject risks, and re-routing suggestions to guide authors toward the most appropriate academic venue.

A guide for researchers on determining if their macro or finance paper has a load-bearing international or open-economy dimension. It provides specific tests and reframing techniques to ensure the core contribution is cross-border, preventing misrouted submissions to top academic journals.

A comprehensive guide designed to help researchers rigorously assess whether their academic manuscript’s core causality relies on international or open-economy dimensions. It provides clear criteria and decision trees to determine if a paper is genuinely suited for top-tier world economy journals, or if it should be redirected to specialized domestic economics publications.

This comprehensive workflow guide is designed to structure the entire manuscript preparation process for submission to The Journal of World Economy. It acts as a router, ensuring that research systematically progresses from establishing an open-economy positioning and defining causal questions, through literature review, cross-border mechanism analysis, to final submission and rebuttal preparation.
