Evaluate and pressure-test economics research questions against the Quarterly Journal of Economics standard for general-interest breadth and top-tier significance.

Evaluate and refine economics research topics to meet the high editorial standard of the Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE). This skill diagnoses whether an empirical or theoretical research question delivers the broad general-interest appeal required by QJE editors, sharpens the core conceptual hook and source of variation, assesses desk-rejection risk, and suggests alternative top-5 or field journals when a topic is overly technical or niche.
