- The paper is technically complete but the growth contribution is not legible
Use this order:
Question -> growth mechanism -> method/data/model -> headline result -> scope/implication.
Avoid abstracts that lead with "we develop a model" or "we use a panel" without naming the growth mechanism. For JEG, method is persuasive only after the growth question is clear.
The first two pages should answer:
Move institutional background, data details, and calibration minutiae after this chain is visible. JEG readers need the growth mechanism before they need the technical inventory.
JEG prose converts coefficients into growth language; a raw beta is a draft, not a result:
Before (illustrative): "The coefficient on historical literacy is 0.21 and significant at the 1% level across all specifications."
After: "Districts one standard deviation above the mean in 1880 literacy have roughly 21% higher GDP per capita today (Conley SE, 250 km). Through the lens of the model, about half of this gap reflects intergenerational human-capital transmission; the remainder loads on the institutional channel examined in Section 6. Taken at face value, historical literacy differences account for an illustrative one-fifth of present-day interdistrict income dispersion."
The rewrite names the unit, the spatial inference, the mechanism split, and the aggregate stake — the four things a growth specialist scans a results paragraph for.

npx claudepluginhub brycewang-stanford/awesome-journal-skills --plugin jeg-skillsRevises prose for a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript — abstracts, introduction arc, research highlights, and Elsevier house conventions. Makes general-interest economics writing land.
Polishes Journal of Human Resources manuscripts: compresses abstracts, translates coefficients into policy units, reconciles with prior estimates, and enforces the 40-page limit.
Polishes prose, abstracts, and introductions for QJE manuscripts so the big idea lands fast for a general-interest reader. Reflects QJE's house style.
