A comprehensive guide for constructing and applying structural models in health economics, particularly for interpreting empirical estimates or running policy counterfactuals. It covers core archetypes—including demand-selection, provider incentives, and human capital—and emphasizes critical rigor, such as parameter identification, adherence to institutional rules (e.g., risk adjustment), and defending policy-invariance (Lucas critique).

This guide provides a comprehensive strategy for authors responding to a "Revise and Resubmit" (R&R) decision, particularly for high-stakes journals. It details the structure of the rebuttal letter, including handling conflicting referee comments, performing necessary reconciliation with prior literature, and integrating rigorous sensitivity tests (e.g., comparative estimation, pre-trend analysis). It focuses on strategic communication and method validation.

This skill guides authors in building and auditing tables and figures for submissions to the Journal of International Economics (JIE). It emphasizes that all exhibits must be self-contained and immediately understandable by a specialized referee. Focus areas include gravity tables, event-study plots, structural counterfactual charts, and how to report economic magnitudes (e.g., elasticity) rather than just statistical significance.

A comprehensive guide for performing rigorous robustness checks on causal estimates in law and economics. It teaches researchers how to pre-empt common referee concerns—such as specification search, alternative treatment dating, or contaminated controls—by implementing targeted, methodologically sound tests to ensure estimates are stable and credible.

This guide details how to assemble a comprehensive, reproducible replication package for academic manuscripts, especially in fields relying on complex institutional data (e.g., court records, contracts). It mandates creating a one-command master script, documenting the entire data pipeline from raw sources to final exhibits, and providing detailed protocols for hand-coded variables and data provenance. The goal is to ensure that any researcher can perfectly reproduce every finding.

Provides comprehensive guidelines for structuring and presenting empirical tables and figures, especially for quantitative finance and economics journals (e.g., JMCB). Focuses on making every exhibit self-contained, economically legible, and highly impactful. It ensures readers grasp the shock size, economic magnitude, and uncertainty without relying solely on the main text, while also adhering to strict space limitations.

This guide helps authors frame their academic contributions within highly specialized fields like monetary policy, DSGE modeling, and financial intermediation. It teaches how to precisely define the novel element (shock, mechanism, or counterfactual) relative to the closest prior work, ensuring the manuscript is viewed as an advance, not a mere survey. Ideal for preparing submissions to top-tier economics journals.

A guide for authors submitting to top-tier management journals (like JMS). It teaches how to crystallize raw research findings into a single, powerful, one-sentence theoretical contribution claim. This framework ensures the paper clearly defines what theoretical conversation it engages, what prior understanding it revises, and under what scope conditions, moving beyond simple results reporting.

A guide for designing rigorous numerical experiments and simulations for academic manuscripts in management science. This methodology focuses on validating proven theoretical properties, assessing algorithm performance, exploring parameter sensitivity, and extracting actionable managerial insights. It emphasizes that simulations must complement, but never replace, formal mathematical proofs.

This comprehensive preflight checklist is designed for authors submitting to the Journal of Communication (JoC). It details critical requirements for successful submission, including maintaining double-anonymity, adhering to APA 7th edition formatting, using the correct file type (Word .docx), and including a Data Availability Statement. Use this guide to perform a final quality check and avoid common desk-reject issues.

This skill provides a comprehensive checklist and guide for authors targeting the Journal of Hydrology. It helps authors assess the fit of their manuscript, covering scope alignment (surface/subsurface hydrology), required scientific advance, methodological rigor (validation, uncertainty), and adherence to Elsevier house style. Use it for pre-submission venue selection and quality assurance.

A comprehensive skill for researchers targeting top international economics journals, such as the Journal of International Economics. It provides detailed guidelines on content fit, structuring arguments, required quantitative modeling rigor (e.g., credible identification, counterfactuals), and adherence to current academic house styles for international trade, open-economy macro, and finance research. Use this for venue selection and pre-submission self-checking.
