- The argument and balance are settled and the prose needs to land
JEP prose is engaging, clear, and authoritative-but-readable — the famous "no abstract math in the body" feel. It sounds like a knowledgeable economist explaining something fascinating to a smart colleague from another field: confident, plain, and never showing off. Run this after the narrative arc and balance are set; voice polish before structure is wasted.
