Experimental Economics Topic Selection
Evaluates research questions for Experimental Economics journal fit, structuring clean minimal-pair treatment contrasts and identification strategies.
Experimental Economics Topic Selection is a specialized workflow skill designed for academic researchers aiming to publish in the Economic Science Association (ESA) flagship journal, Experimental Economics. It helps scholars pivot from topic-first descriptions to method-first experimental designs, ensuring hypotheses are centered on decisive treatment contrasts, zero-deception protocols, and salient incentives. The skill guides critical pre-data decisions—such as pre-registration, Registered Report routes, lab versus field deployment, and journal boundary selection among JEBO, GEB, AEJ: Micro, and JESA—guaranteeing that studies are structured to produce informative results even under a clean null.
