The imfer-writing-style skill provides rigorous editorial guidance tailored to the dual audience of the IMF Economic Review (IMFER). It helps authors frame an immediate research puzzle, state core results and empirical identification on page one, translate statistical findings into concrete policy magnitudes, and format abstracts with JEL codes and Chicago manual styling. Whether you are transitioning a technical working paper into a submission-ready draft or revising based on referee feedback, this skill ensures your manuscript satisfies top-tier academic rigor while delivering actionable international macro and policy insights.
