Journal of Public Economics Submission Assistant
Guides manuscript framing, identification strategy, welfare analysis, and submission checks for the Journal of Public Economics.
The Journal of Public Economics Assistant is a specialized Claude Code skill designed for public finance and applied microeconomics researchers preparing manuscripts for submission to JPubE. It evaluates research fit against the journal's editorial standards, ensures identification strategies meet modern methodological bars (such as robust DiD, bunching, IV, and RDD), and reframes empirical findings around clear public policy mechanisms and welfare relevance rather than mere dataset novelties. Additionally, it helps authors avoid common desk-reject pitfalls, comply with replication and appendix requirements, and select alternative venues when manuscripts are better aligned with other field journals.
