From jme-skills
Routes manuscript workflow for Journal of Monetary Economics submissions, directing users to the appropriate jme-* sub-skill based on current stage (topic selection, identification, data analysis, etc.).

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you **which jme-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at the *Journal of Monetary Economics* (JME).
This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you which jme- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at the Journal of Monetary Economics (JME).
Default assumption: unless told otherwise, treat the target as JME — Elsevier's leading outlet for monetary economics and macroeconomics broadly defined (monetary theory and policy, central banking, business cycles, growth, financial intermediation, fiscal interactions, expectations), in both quantitative/DSGE and empirical/applied-policy modes. Operational tells you are at JME and not a generic top econ journal: submission via Elsevier Editorial Manager (editorialmanager.com/monec/); a US$350 fee (US$200 for full-time PhD students) charged up front (no fee on resubmission; half refunded on a direct return); single anonymized (single-blind) review with at least two reviewers; the distinctive "up or out" first-revision rule and the ~50% publication-likelihood threshold for an R&R; a strict 40-page / ≤10 tables-and-figures cap on accepted papers; a 100-word abstract that may not begin with "This paper" or "We"; and the annual Carnegie-Rochester-NYU Conference Series on Public Policy issue. Editors are S. Borağan Aruoba (Maryland) and Eric Swanson (UC Irvine). Re-verify volatile specifics on the official page.
| Current symptom | Next skill |
|---|---|
| Idea feels narrow / unclear fit with monetary-macro scope | jme-topic-selection |
| Contribution relative to the monetary-macro literature is fuzzy | jme-literature-positioning |
| The "what's new / why it matters for policy" pitch is undersold | jme-contribution-framing |
| Causal/structural identification of the shock or mechanism is undefended | jme-identification-strategy |
| VAR/LP/DSGE estimation or moments need stress-testing | jme-data-analysis |
| Too many exhibits for the 10-table-and-figure cap; IRFs unclear | jme-tables-figures |
| Prose buries the result; abstract begins with "This paper"/"We" | jme-writing-style |
| Need the ScienceDirect/Mendeley deposit + AI declaration ready | jme-replication-and-data-policy |
| Want to understand single-blind review, two-referee, "up or out" | jme-review-process |
| Ready to submit via Editorial Manager; need the fee + 40-page preflight | jme-submission |
| Received an R&R; the resubmission is "up or out" | jme-rebuttal |
jme-topic-selection — confirm a first-order monetary/macro question and JME fitjme-literature-positioning — stake the contribution against the frontierjme-contribution-framing — sharpen the "what's new + policy lesson" claimjme-identification-strategy — make the shock/mechanism identification crediblejme-data-analysis — VAR / local projections / DSGE estimation and robustnessjme-tables-figures — fit IRFs and tables under the ≤10 cap, online appendix for the restjme-writing-style — JME house style; 100-word abstract; author-date referencesjme-replication-and-data-policy — ScienceDirect/Mendeley deposit + AI declarationjme-review-process — understand single-blind, two-referee, "up or out", 50% thresholdjme-submission — Editorial Manager preflight (fee, 40 pages, line numbers, JEL codes)jme-rebuttal — after the R&R (the resubmission must end in accept or reject)
jme-writing-styleis a late-stage polish. Do not rewrite the intro before the model and identification are settled — the argument will change.

Provides JME fit criteria, desk-reject heuristics, method bar, and re-framing advice for macro/monetary papers targeting the Journal of Monetary Economics.
Routes Journal of Banking & Finance manuscripts to the appropriate sub-skill across the publication lifecycle: topic fit, literature positioning, identification strategy, data analysis, exhibits, submission, review, and rebuttal.
