Skill UI

This skill applies the Jobs To Be Done (JTBD) framework from behavioral economics. Instead of merely listing features, it helps uncover the underlying functional, emotional, and social progress a customer is trying to achieve when they 'hire' a product or service. It is essential for deep user research, defining product messaging, optimizing the user journey, and understanding the triggers that cause a customer to switch solutions.

This skill applies behavioral economics, specifically prospect theory, to frame messages emphasizing the cost of inaction (loss) rather than just the benefits of action (gain). It guides the creation of persuasive copy, UX copy, and pricing strategies by setting credible reference points and quantifying the missed opportunity. The goal is to ethically leverage the psychological pain of delay, ensuring the approach remains credible and avoids manipulative fear-mongering.

Applies principles of behavioral economics and consumer psychology to optimize how pricing, packaging, and offers are structured and presented. This skill helps maximize the perceived value and fairness of products, guiding the use of anchors, decoy effects, and strategic framing to improve conversion rates and upsell opportunities while maintaining ethical transparency.

A comprehensive guide for authors to sharpen the marginal contribution of their Experimental Economics (ExpEcon) manuscripts. It moves beyond simple topic novelty by outlining a structured ladder of contribution (e.g., confound removal, new decisive treatment) and teaching authors how to precisely map their design against canonical behavioral paradigms and prior work. Essential for improving academic rigor and manuscript acceptance rates.

A structured guide on translating behavioral or game-theoretic arguments into pre-specified, quantitative, and testable hypotheses for Experimental Economics (ExpEcon) manuscripts. This methodology emphasizes moving beyond informal intuition by defining the experimental game, deriving benchmark predictions, layering competing behavioral accounts, and generating comparative-statics hypotheses that treatments must adjudicate. It is essential for manuscripts aiming to robustly test theory through design.

This tool guides authors through the rigorous standards required for publishing in top experimental economics journals. It serves as a comprehensive checklist, evaluating a manuscript's fit, methodological strength, design transparency, and structural requirements (e.g., pre-registration, incentive-compatibility) against best practices in behavioral and experimental economics.

This guide provides comprehensive methodological advice for academic submissions in Information Systems (IS), particularly for journals like JAIS. It covers selecting and rigorously defending diverse research designs—including behavioral experiments, causal inference (Economics of IS), design science, qualitative studies, and literature reviews. Use it when you need to validate the suitability of your methodology against your research claims and underlying phenomena.

This guide helps researchers structure and articulate the unique contribution of their work, specifically tailored for high-impact journals like JEBO. It focuses on building the 'what we knew / what was missing / what this adds' framework, ensuring that the contribution is positioned at the mechanism level, whether the work is novel, a reconciliation, or a bounded replication.

This guide helps researchers proactively anticipate the critical objections raised by academic journal referees, especially in behavioral economics. It covers key areas such as demand effects, mechanism separation, external validity, and determining proper journal fit, allowing authors to significantly strengthen their drafts before formal submission.

A comprehensive guide to structuring robustness checks for behavioral economics and empirical research. Instead of merely listing statistical tests, this framework mandates organizing checks by the underlying behavioral threat (e.g., experimenter demand, multiple comparisons, specification choice). It provides specific guidelines for experiments, observational data, and simulations, ensuring that findings are robust against alternative behavioral explanations and methodological choices.

This guide provides best practices for creating high-impact tables and figures (exhibits) for academic journals, especially in behavioral economics. It emphasizes visualizing the core behavioral comparison—such as treatment effects, dynamic changes over rounds, or underlying distributions—so the main finding is immediately visible before reading any text. Key practices include using confidence intervals over significance stars, ensuring grayscale readability, and providing self-contained captions.

This tool serves as a comprehensive workflow router for authors targeting the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO). It guides users through the entire academic writing process, from initial topic selection and literature positioning to experimental design, robustness checks, and rebuttal strategy, ensuring the manuscript meets the unique methodological requirements of behavioral economics.
