REStat Manuscript Advisor
Evaluates applied econometrics manuscripts for fit, causal identification rigor, and submission readiness targeting the Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat).
The Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) Manuscript Advisor helps empirical economists and researchers evaluate, frame, and refine their papers for submission to REStat (MIT Press). It benchmarks empirical designs against modern econometrics standards—flagging issues like naive staggered DiD or weak instruments—while providing structural framing advice, desk-reject diagnostics, replication policy checklists, and strategic re-routing recommendations across top general-interest and field economics journals.
