- The introduction leads with the model block or the estimator, not the macro question
AEJ: Macro is broad-interest, so the writing must make the macro question and the headline quantity legible to a general macroeconomist early — before the DSGE notation or the SVAR machinery. Follow AEA house style (active voice, plain prose, quantities with units, standard errors / bands reported). The hard constraint to design around: the abstract is ≤100 words (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准) — far tighter than most economics journals — so every word in it must earn its place.

npx claudepluginhub brycewang-stanford/awesome-journal-skills --plugin aej-macroeconomics-skillsRevises AEJ: Applied economics manuscripts to AEA house style: places the design and headline causal estimate with uncertainty in the first paragraph, polishes abstract and introduction.
Applies AEJ: Micro house style and the theory-paper intro arc to manuscripts whose prose buries the result or whose abstract/intro do not land. Use after the model and proofs settle.
