AEJ: Macroeconomics Manuscript Evaluator
Evaluates manuscript fit, framing, empirical rigor, and house style compliance for American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics submissions.
The AEJ: Macroeconomics Skill guides researchers through the venue-selection and submission-preparation process for the American Economic Association's premier field journal in macroeconomics. It evaluates quantitative structural models (DSGE, HANK, heterogeneous-agent frameworks) and empirical macro designs against AEJ: Macro's identification standards, flags common desk-reject risks like uncalibrated free parameters or ungrounded reduced-form regressions, checks compliance with mandatory AEA data/code availability policies, and suggests strategic journal re-routing to top-5 or alternative field outlets when appropriate.
