JET Topic Selection
Evaluates academic research against Journal of Economic Theory (JET) scope requirements to ensure theoretical rigor before submission.
JET Topic Selection is a specialized editorial screening skill designed for economic theorists aiming to publish in the Journal of Economic Theory (JET). It evaluates whether research projects clear JET's strict scope gate by verifying the presence of an original, non-trivial theoretical deliverable in core areas like mechanism design, game theory, and market design. The skill assesses empirical or computational components to ensure they are firmly grounded in theory, helps prioritize lead results for desk screens, and provides actionable routing recommendations when a paper is better suited for specialized field, computational, or empirical journals.
