RAND Journal of Economics Writing Style
Formats and polishes economics manuscripts to comply with The RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) official house style and copyediting rules.
The RJE Writing Style skill automates the stylistic audit and manuscript refinement required for submission to The RAND Journal of Economics. It verifies author-date citations without page numbers, strips journal issue numbers from reference lists, ensures sections are numbered while subsections remain unnumbered, and formats equation numbering flush-right. Additionally, it enforces RJE's precise house usage rules—such as strictly reserving 'since' for time and 'while' for simultaneity, and using 'article' instead of 'paper'—while calibrating the prose tone specifically for an industrial organization audience.
