Guides empirical economics manuscripts from topic selection through AER submission, covering causal identification, literature positioning, body drafting, robustness checks, referee simulation, and R&R rebuttals with AEA-compliant data deposits.
Use when auditing a finished or near-finished AER, AER:Insights, or AEJ manuscript for internal consistency: headline numbers across abstract, introduction, results, and tables; sample sizes; log-point and percentage-point conversions; cross-references; and in-text-citation/bibliography matching. Apply after the body and exhibits exist, before aer-referee-sim and aer-submission.
Use when selecting, implementing, or stress-testing the causal identification strategy for an empirical economics manuscript — difference-in-differences (including staggered designs), instrumental variables (including weak-IV-robust inference), regression discontinuity, synthetic control, or shift-share / Bartik. Apply before writing the introduction or results.
Use when drafting or rewriting the introduction of an economics manuscript targeted at AER, AER:Insights, or an AEJ, or when compressing an abstract to the mandatory 100-word limit. Implements the Keith Head / Bellemare five-paragraph formula and AER-specific formatting conventions. Apply after the body sections exist.
Use when positioning a manuscript against the existing economics literature, building the antecedents map for the introduction, deciding what to cite, or verifying that every reference in the bibliography is real, correctly attributed, and cited to the published version. Apply at topic selection for the novelty scan and again before drafting the introduction.
Use when drafting or revising the body sections of an AER, AER:Insights, or AEJ manuscript — institutional background, data, empirical strategy, results, mechanisms, and conclusion. Covers equation conventions, results-paragraph narration, magnitude interpretation, and back-of-envelope policy calculations. Apply after the empirics are stable and before or alongside aer-introduction.

面向 《美国经济评论》(AER)、AER: Insights 及 AEJ 系列期刊的 agent skill 栈。
简体中文 | English
面向 American Economic Review(AER)、AER: Insights 以及 AEJ 系列期刊的 agent skill 包:覆盖选题、文献定位、正文写作、识别策略、表图规范、投稿、模拟审稿、审稿回复的全流程。
本仓库是有立场的。它不是通用经济学写作工具箱,而是一套面向 top-5 经济学的 skill 栈:识别优先的实证、AEA 政策合规的复现包、Keith Head 风格的引言、AER 风格的 booktabs 表格、以及对编辑友好的 rebuttal 文体。
v1.1 把 AER-Skills 从十个核心 skill 扩展到十四个,并把"写完稿"之后最容易出错的环节前移成质量门:
aer-literature:先做最近邻论文地图和引用核验,避免凭记忆写文献与幻觉引用。aer-paper-body:覆盖 background、data、empirical strategy、results、mechanisms、conclusion,强调先写正文再写引言。aer-consistency:审计正文数字、表格、样本漏斗、单位换算、交叉引用和 bibliography;附可运行的 LaTeX 检查脚本。aer-referee-sim:在投稿前模拟 desk screen 和三位 adversarial referees,按 rubric 输出 revise list。docs/style-guide.md、docs/referee-report-rubric.md、examples/results-section-example.md、examples/referee-report-example.md。Top-5 经济学期刊的硬约束在生命科学类期刊中并不存在:
| 约束维度 | AER | AER: Insights | 含义 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 摘要字数 | 100 词 | 100 词 | 4-5 句话。卖结果,不卖动机。 |
| 正文长度 | ~40 排印页 | ≤ 7,000 词减每个 exhibit 200 词 | 行文要紧;5 个 exhibits 时上限为 6,000 词。 |
| Desk rejection | 高 | ~45% | 前三页决定生死。 |
| 复现要求 | 强制 | 强制 | AEA 数据与代码可用性政策有专人审核执行。 |
| 识别策略 | 因果、设计驱动 | 因果、设计驱动 | TWFE、弱 IV、朴素 RDD 会被直接 desk-reject。 |
| Cover letter | 可选 | 可选 | 仅用于 COI 披露或数据访问限制说明。 |
| Disclosure statements | 必需 | 必需 | 每位合作者单独提交一份 PDF;即使没有冲突也要明说。 |
通用的 "scientific writing" skill(例如 Nature-Paper-Skills、nature-skills)通常覆盖不到这些约束。

Covers top AI/ML, data mining, vision, NLP, robotics, HCI, systems, security, software engineering, programming languages, databases, and theory venues, with current-cycle CFP and author-kit re-check discipline.
Agent skill stack for submitting to 《经济研究》 (Economic Research Journal), the top economics journal in China. Eighteen skills across the manuscript lifecycle: China-context topic selection, introduction, bilingual literature review, theory & hypotheses, data & sample, modern causal identification (DID / IV / RDD / DML with heterogeneity-robust estimators), mechanism analysis (post-江艇 2022 paradigm), heterogeneity, robustness, three-line tables, policy implications, abstract, house style, reviewer-lens self-audit, reproducibility, submission preflight, and R&R rebuttals. Ships a runnable Stata + Python code library. Bilingual zh-CN / en docs.
Agent skill stack for articles and proposals targeted at the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) — the open-access, non-technical synthesis journal of the American Economic Association, founded 1987, sister to the Journal of Economic Literature (technical surveys of record) and the AER/AEJ research journals. JEP is largely invited and organized in symposia, and rewards accessible writing readable by 90 percent of AEA members, not new identification or replication. Twelve role skills cover the JEP lifecycle: workflow routing, topic selection for a broad audience, the 2–5 page proposal and symposium pitch ([email protected]), narrative arc for a general economist reader, plain-language translation of technical results, presenting evidence with minimal equations, exhibits a non-specialist can read, the JEP voice, balance and objectivity over advocacy, working with the managing-editor-led editorial team, the pre-submission preflight, and revising for accessibility and balance. Bilingual en / zh-CN docs.
Agent skill stack for submitting to 《会计研究》 (Accounting Research) — the flagship journal of the Accounting Society of China and the only accounting title among CSSCI sources (monthly, founded 1980, ISSN 1003-2886, CN 11-1078/F). Built around the journal's defining bar: archival capital-market empirics with accurate institutional / standard-setting detail and an information mechanism, distinguished from generic corporate finance. Covers fit positioning, topic selection, literature review, institutional/standards background, accounting measurement (discretionary accruals, conservatism, disclosure indices), quasi-experimental identification, information mechanism, robustness, tables/figures, standard-setter/regulator implications, submission preflight, and R&R rebuttals.
Agent skill stack for manuscripts targeted at the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) — empirical and quantitative financial economics (corporate finance, investments, capital and security markets, financial institutions, and finance-relevant quantitative methods), published by Cambridge University Press for the Michael G. Foster School of Business at the University of Washington. Built around the JFQA realities: submission via Editorial Manager with a text-searchable PDF, a $350 fee (only $275 refunded if not sent to a reviewer), double-anonymous review, a strict one-paragraph / 100-word abstract cap, prescriptive 8.5x11 / 1-inch / 12-pt Times New Roman double-spaced formatting, a one-year resubmission ban for undisclosed prior rejections, and the JFQA Code Sharing Policy with a dedicated JFQA Dataverse at the Harvard Dataverse. Covers topic fit, literature positioning, causal/identification design for finance, robustness, tables and figures, house style, the code/data archive, referee strategy, submission preflight, and R&R rebuttals. Bilingual en / zh-CN docs; Stata / R / Python conventions.
Agent skill stack for manuscripts targeted at the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) — the American Economic Association's quarterly journal for empirical applied microeconomics with credible causal identification, spanning labor, development, health, education, public, urban, environmental, and household finance. Covers AEJ: Applied's distinctive process: double-blind review through the AEA online submission system, a modest member submission fee with nonmember surcharge, required JEL codes, and the signature AEA Data and Code Availability Policy administered by the AEA Data Editor (Lars Vilhuber) under which accepted papers deposit data and code to the AEA Data and Code Repository on openICPSR and are verified for reproducibility before publication. Twelve role skills span workflow routing, topic selection, literature positioning, identification, theory/model interpretation, robustness, tables and figures, writing style, the replication package, referee strategy, submission preflight, and the R&R rebuttal. Bilingual en / zh-CN docs; Stata / R / Python conventions for applied-micro causal work.
A growing collection of Claude-compatible academic workflow bundles. Covers scientific figures, manuscript writing and polishing, reviewer assessment, citation retrieval, data availability, paper reading, literature search, response letters, paper-to-PPTX conversion, and evidence-grounded Chinese invention patent drafting. Rules are organized as reusable skill folders with explicit workflows and quality checks.
