A comprehensive guide for advanced statistical analysis in consumer psychology, moving beyond simple p-values. It details how to rigorously test complex processes like mediation and moderation (measured and experimental). This resource emphasizes reporting standards for high-impact journals, covering effect sizes, confidence intervals, pre-registration, and establishing causal evidence.

A comprehensive guide designed to stress-test the causal identification of behavioral mechanisms for top-tier economic journals (e.g., JEBO). It provides stringent criteria across lab/field experiments, observational data (DiD, IV, RDD), and simulations, ensuring the design isolates the claimed psychological or institutional channel, not just a correlation. Use this when standard econometric methods are insufficient to prove mechanism causality.

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.

A comprehensive guide detailing the advanced statistical standards required for publishing in top educational psychology journals. It covers modeling nested data (multilevel/SEM), reporting educationally meaningful effect sizes with confidence intervals, testing theoretical mechanisms (mediation/moderation), and ensuring full methodological disclosure (JARS). This resource is crucial for researchers aiming for high-impact, reproducible empirical studies.

This resource simulates the rigorous peer review process of a top journal, focusing on educational relevance, theoretical mechanism, design rigor (especially nested data analysis), and transparency standards (JARS, preregistration). Use this guide to stress-test your manuscript before submission, preemptively address common rejection patterns, or interpret a complex decision letter, ensuring your work meets the highest academic standards.

A comprehensive academic guide for refining research questions intended for the Journal of Economic Geography (JEG). It implements a rigorous "two-community test," ensuring the topic successfully bridges geographical economics (quantitative models) and human geography (place-based studies). Use this checklist before major data collection to validate the mechanism and justify the spatial role of the research.

This guide provides strict guidelines for authors submitting highly theoretical papers (e.g., to Journal of Economic Theory) regarding computational, numerical, or empirical evidence. It enforces the 'theory-first' principle, ensuring that all quantitative work—including simulations, examples, and counterexamples—must serve to illustrate, test, or deepen the main theoretical contribution, rather than standing as a standalone finding. Key requirements include maintaining reproducibility, keeping examples minimal, and proper structural placement.

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 guide provides advanced methodological principles for conducting theoretically grounded heterogeneity analysis in financial research. It emphasizes that any dimension used for splitting the data (e.g., ownership, bank type, financial constraint) must be predicted by the underlying economic mechanism, rather than being an arbitrary data exploration. It details best practices, statistical rigor (group coefficient difference testing), and common pitfalls to avoid.

A comprehensive guide for constructing and auditing empirical data pipelines, specifically tailored for high-impact journals. It covers advanced causal inference techniques (DID, RDD, IV, RCT), detailed sample management, robustness testing, and creating structured comparative estimates to withstand intense academic scrutiny.

This specialized tool guides researchers in critically evaluating if an academic idea or dataset qualifies as a genuine, theory-contributing international-business phenomenon. It implements a rigorous multi-gate test, analyzing the phenomenon, level of analysis, international theory contribution, and cross-national variation needed for high-impact publishing in journals like JIBS.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for conducting rigorous cross-national data analysis, essential for academic research in international business. It covers critical advanced statistical methods like Measurement Invariance Testing (MGCFA), Multilevel Modeling (HLM), and Multi-Group SEM. It instructs users on handling cross-level moderation, interpreting country-level effects, and ensuring results are statistically auditable across complex data structures (e.g., panels, dyads).
