A comprehensive framework designed to rigorously test the stability of key macroeconomic findings. This program addresses potential biases arising from specification choices, sample periods (e.g., Great Moderation, ZLB, COVID breaks), and methodological variations (SVAR vs. LP). It ensures that the reported headline quantity remains robust even when challenged by a skeptical academic referee, providing a targeted defense rather than simply listing extra tables. Ideal for high-stakes empirical macro papers.

This skill acts as a comprehensive workflow router for manuscripts targeting the American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro). It guides the researcher through the entire publication lifecycle—from initial topic selection and literature positioning, through rigorous quantitative modeling (DSGE, SVAR), empirical identification, writing, to final submission and rebuttal strategy. It ensures the final paper meets the high standards of modern macroeconomics research.

A comprehensive guide for submitting high-quality replication packages for academic journals like the American Economic Journal (AEJ: Micro). This package covers two essential components: self-contained, verifiable proofs for theoretical claims (the Proof Appendix), and a fully reproducible code and data deposit (the Code/Data Repository). It ensures that all numerical results, simulations, and empirical findings can be regenerated by the journal's editor, maintaining the highest standards of scientific transparency.

This guide outlines best practices for authors presenting theoretical and empirical results for top-tier journals like the American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro). It covers structuring propositions, building transparent numerical examples, creating schematic figures, and formatting tables (including mandated use of standard errors over significance asterisks) to ensure maximum clarity and adherence to academic publishing standards.

This skill acts as a workflow router, guiding researchers through the entire manuscript lifecycle for submissions to American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro). It does not write the paper, but diagnoses the current bottleneck—whether it's topic selection, model refinement, empirical testing, or rebuttal strategy—and specifies which specialized aejmic-* sub-skill to invoke next, ensuring the paper aligns with the specific requirements of AEJ: Micro. Triggered when users are unsure what step to take next, or when revising based on reviewer comments.

This guide provides stringent methodological standards for establishing credible causal claims in empirical policy manuscripts. It covers advanced econometric techniques—including Difference-in-Differences (DiD), Instrumental Variables (IV), Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD), and Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT)—required to move beyond mere correlation and prove that the observed effect is genuinely caused by the policy intervention.

A comprehensive framework for translating reduced-form causal estimates (e.g., elasticity, treatment effects) into explicit policy statements. It guides researchers on building clear welfare, cost-benefit, or optimal-policy models, defining sufficient statistics, and articulating distributional effects, ensuring policy claims are rigorously grounded in empirical data.

This guide provides rigorous methodological guidelines for ensuring the identification strategy in high-impact empirical economics papers (AER: Insights). It covers key areas including Difference-in-Differences (DiD), Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD), Instrumental Variables (IV), and structural parameter identification. It emphasizes the need for extreme methodological clarity, transparency, and conciseness required for top-tier academic publication.

This skill guides authors on condensing complex empirical research findings (tables and figures) to meet the strict formatting constraints of top academic journals like AER: Insights. It enforces a maximum of five one-page exhibits, teaches authors how to select the headline result, central diagnostics, and mechanism, and ensures adherence to specific house styles, such as reporting standard errors instead of significance asterisks, while managing word count budgets.

This guide outlines the strict transparency and data availability requirements for manuscripts submitted to the American Educational Research Journal (AERJ). It ensures adherence to AERA standards for reporting empirical social science research (both quantitative and qualitative) and the AERA Code of Ethics. It details how authors must make findings reproducible, whether by providing code and data access paths, or by documenting an inspectable analytic trail.

This guide provides strict guidelines for designing, auditing, and reporting empirical or simulation experiments, particularly for theoretical machine learning and statistics papers. It emphasizes mapping every empirical claim to specific evidence, ensuring statistical rigor (e.g., reporting uncertainty, baselines, seeds), and validating theoretical assumptions rather than optimizing for leaderboards. Essential for research reproducibility.

A comprehensive guide for academics submitting AI and statistical research papers. It details how to map every claim (theoretical, algorithmic, or empirical) to verifiable evidence, covering necessary details like datasets, hyperparameters, random seeds, compute resources, and uncertainty estimates. It outlines the standards for achieving high levels of reproducibility, from descriptive to turnkey, ensuring scientific rigor for top-tier conferences.
