Learning & Documentation

Evaluates research question fit and reframes economic papers for general-interest breadth targeting the European Economic Review.

EER Topic Selection guides economics researchers in determining whether their empirical or theoretical paper meets the general-interest threshold required for the European Economic Review (EER) versus specialized field journals or sibling general-interest outlets like JEEA and The Economic Journal. It diagnoses potential desk-reject risks, reframes narrow field contributions around first-order mechanisms, checks portability, and structures the core economic argument to appeal immediately to non-specialist economists.
