Provides comprehensive guidelines for authors submitting empirical, quantitative, or theoretical growth papers. It details how to package data sources, code pipelines, calibration files, and historical/geospatial artifacts to meet stringent reproducibility standards for publishing journals.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting manuscripts to the Journal of Economic Growth (JEG). It details the specific expectations of specialized reviewers in dynamic macroeconomics, covering key areas like theoretical originality, empirical identification, and fit with long-run growth mechanisms. Use this guide to pre-emptively address potential weaknesses and structure revisions.

A comprehensive preflight checklist for submitting academic manuscripts, specifically tailored for journals focusing on economic growth and development. It guides authors through required metadata, structural completeness (abstract length, appendices), and crucially, scope alignment checks to ensure the paper focuses on long-run economic mechanisms.

A comprehensive guide for preparing high-quality tables and figures, specifically tailored for submissions to the Journal of Economic Growth (JEG). It dictates the necessary narrative flow—from identifying empirical facts to detailing mechanisms, model estimates, and robustness checks. The guide covers best practices for map generation, handling cross-country panels, and ensuring that all exhibits collectively tell a clear, coherent story about economic growth and its underlying mechanisms.

This tool guides researchers in evaluating whether their economic project topic is suitably specialized and ambitious for elite, growth-focused academic journals. It helps users frame their research question around core growth mechanisms, such as human capital accumulation, endogenous growth theory, or institutional dynamics, ensuring the work meets the standard of a "first-order growth question."

This comprehensive workflow guides researchers through the entire lifecycle of submitting a specialized academic paper to the Journal of Economic Growth (JEG). It maps out critical stages, from initial topic selection and literature positioning to rigorous data analysis, writing style adherence, and the post-submission review and rebuttal process. Essential for structuring theoretical, empirical, or mixed growth macroeconomics papers.

A comprehensive guide for polishing academic manuscripts intended for the Journal of Economic Growth (JEG). It instructs authors on structuring arguments around core growth mechanisms, translating raw econometric coefficients into meaningful growth language (e.g., convergence, productivity), and applying specific metadata and citation standards (APA, JEL codes) required by top-tier journals in development economics.

A comprehensive guide for planning and stress-testing empirical analysis in financial intermediation, specifically for high-impact journals. It covers the construction of bank/loan-level panel datasets, defining variables (growth vs. levels), implementing advanced econometric specifications (e.g., fixed effects), and executing substantial robustness checks (placebo periods, alternative clustering). It also guides the planning of reproducible numerical illustrations for theoretical models.

This comprehensive resource guides authors targeting the Journal of Economic Growth. It covers the journal's positioning, required scope in long-run growth theory, cross-country empirics, institutional determinants, and rigorous methodological standards. Use it to re-frame your manuscript for maximum fit and avoid common desk-reject pitfalls before official submission.

A comprehensive skill designed to help researchers assess whether a manuscript is suitable for submission to the prestigious journal, Macroeconomics. It covers the journal's scope (macro-policy, growth, regional strategy), required methodological rigor (econometrics, model transparency), structural expectations, and common pitfalls, acting as a pre-submission positioning and rewriting framework.

A guide on how to sharpen the marginal contribution of an academic manuscript for specialized journals (like JEG). It teaches authors to transform vague statements into precise, one-sentence claims that clearly advance understanding in growth theory or empirical econometrics, focusing on mechanisms and causal channels.
