JET Literature Positioning
Positions economic theory contributions precisely against nearest existing theorems for Journal of Economic Theory submissions.
JET Literature Positioning provides specialized guidance for theoretical economists framing their contributions for the Journal of Economic Theory (JET). It helps authors avoid generic literature reviews by establishing rigorous, theorem-relative deltas—clarifying whether a paper weakens assumptions, broadens generality, characterizes new mathematical objects, or delivers tighter constructive proofs relative to the frontier literature. Featuring subfield frontier maps across mechanism design, matching, decision theory, information design, and dynamic games, this skill ensures manuscripts pass desk reviews and defend originality against expert referees.
