A workflow designed for careful, incremental development. It mandates breaking down large tasks into the smallest meaningful steps, pausing for immediate feedback after each segment. This continuous validation process ensures the direction is correct early on, minimizing risk and making the entire process highly reviewable and manageable.

This comprehensive guide walks authors through the critical final stages after conference acceptance. It covers de-anonymization, ensuring proper metadata for proceedings volumes (PMLR), integrating all reviewer responses, regenerating figures, and preparing for physical/virtual presentations (posters and spotlights). Use this to manage the entire complex workflow from acceptance to final submission.

This comprehensive guide manages the end-to-end project lifecycle for submitting a systems paper to the UIST conference. It structures the demanding timeline, detailing milestones from abstract submission and hardware development to video production, rebuttal, and final camera-ready submission, while also providing crucial risk mitigation strategies.

A rigorous checklist and guide for conducting causal inference in development economics, specifically tailored to the high standards of top-tier journals like The World Bank Economic Review (WBER). It covers advanced econometric designs (RCT, DiD, RD, IV), focusing not just on estimation but on defining the estimand, addressing external validity, general equilibrium effects, and translating local findings into actionable policy recommendations.

A comprehensive guide for researchers on how to effectively position academic contributions, particularly for top-tier development economics journals. It instructs users to move beyond merely stating a research topic (e.g., 'first to study X in Y') by framing their findings as generalizable claims about underlying mechanisms or quantitative gaps. Key focus areas include linking academic gaps to active development policy debates and strategically distinguishing the work from similar fields like JDE or World Development.

A comprehensive strategy guide for submitting academic papers to The World Bank Economic Review (WBER). It teaches researchers how to anticipate and preempt common criticisms from development-economics referees (identification flaws, policy relevance, data quality) and how to structure the cover letter to maximize acceptance chances.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for designing and auditing academic tables and figures, specifically for development economics journals. It teaches how to translate statistical coefficients into actionable policy magnitudes, validate research design (e.g., balance checks, pre-trends), and adhere to strict page limits while maintaining clarity for both economists and policymakers.

A comprehensive guide detailing when and how to structure theoretical models in development economics research, particularly for World Bank Economic Review submissions. It emphasizes that models must serve a functional purpose—such as interpreting empirical coefficients, running policy counterfactuals, or aggregating to welfare statements—rather than being decorative. Key principles cover parameter identification, matching structural frictions to the local setting, and handling counterfactual assumptions (Lucas critique).

A detailed guide for structuring and positioning development economics research for high-impact journals like The World Bank Economic Review (WBER). It teaches researchers to reframe their work to satisfy two crucial criteria: rigorous empirical design (credible empirics) and actionable policy relevance in developing countries, ensuring the work transcends being a mere project report.

This comprehensive router guides authors through the entire lifecycle of a rigorous development economics manuscript targeted at The World Bank Economic Review (WBER). It outlines the ideal sequence of specialized skills—from initial topic selection and literature positioning to establishing credible causal identification, managing robustness checks, and preparing the final submission package and rebuttal letter, ensuring the paper meets WBER's demanding standards.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for authors writing for development economics journals, specifically addressing the need to bridge the gap between rigorous econometric analysis and actionable policy advice. It teaches how to structure introductions, write concise abstracts, and frame findings by emphasizing policy magnitudes over statistical significance, ensuring the work speaks to both technical economists and non-specialist policymakers.

This skill is a specialized guide used by authors to evaluate the fit and required rigor for submitting development economics manuscripts to the World Bank Economic Review (WBER). It assesses the manuscript's alignment with the journal's focus on policy-relevant empirical micro and macro research, covering methodological standards (RCTs, IV, DiD), required policy framing, and structural formatting.
