- The introduction buries the question under data or machinery
EER is general-interest, so the writing must make a non-specialist economist see the question, the answer, and why it matters — fast — while satisfying specialists on rigor. Elsevier economics house elements: a structured/concise abstract, research highlights (a few bullet points capturing the core findings), JEL codes and keywords, a declaration of interest, and SEs reported in the text rather than significance-star prose. The introduction must execute a clear arc and the headline result with its uncertainty should appear early.
eer-literature-positioning).Before: "We estimate a structural model by SMM and find the pass-through elasticity is significant at the 1% level (***)." After: "When an input cost rises, how much reaches consumers? We find a 10% cost shock raises retail prices 6.2% (s.e. 0.7) — about a third is absorbed by consumer search — implying that wherever shoppers can compare sellers, measured pass-through understates the underlying shock." Question + magnitude + uncertainty + portable lesson, no stars, in two sentences. See resources/worked-examples/01-introduction.md.
