AEJ: Applied Economics Publication Assistant
Evaluates manuscript fit, framing, causal identification, and desk-reject risks for American Economic Journal: Applied Economics submissions.
The AEJ: Applied Economics Claude Code Skill provides specialized editorial heuristics and venue-selection guidance for empirical applied microeconomics papers. Designed for researchers targeting American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, this skill evaluates empirical identification strategies (RCTs, DiD, IV, RDD), checks adherence to modern econometrics standards, flags common desk-reject pitfalls, and assists in framing findings around meaningful economic magnitudes. It also offers concrete re-routing recommendations to alternative general-interest or top field journals when appropriate.
