AEJ: Applied Topic Selection
Evaluates applied microeconomics research projects for publication fit in AEJ: Applied and sharpens central causal research questions.
AEJ: Applied Topic Selection guides economics researchers in assessing whether an applied microeconomics project is suited for the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics versus top general-interest journals (AER) or specialized field journals. It provides structured fit tests, question-sharpening frameworks, cross-field appeal validation, and JEL code drafting to prevent desk rejects and ensure clear causal framing.
