jhe-robustness

Use when a Journal of Health Economics (JHE) result must be shown stable to specification, sample, inference, and mechanism threats before submission or in response to referees. Organizes robustness by identifying threat; it does not establish the design (jhe-identification) or build exhibits.

jhe-topic-selection

Use when deciding whether a question is a Journal of Health Economics (JHE) paper at all — is it a genuine health-economics contribution, not a public-finance or labor paper with health as a thin application. Frames the question and audience; it does not run the analysis or invent citations.

jhr-data-analysis

Use when building or auditing Journal of Human Resources (JHR) empirical pipelines — sample construction, design-based causal estimates with correct clustering, robustness, comparative estimation against prior published work, online appendix material, and reproducible analysis.

jhr-identification-strategy

Use when stress-testing causal identification for a Journal of Human Resources empirical-micro manuscript, including RCT, DID, RDD, IV, event studies, decompositions, policy shocks, and reconciliation with prior estimates.

jhr-literature-positioning

Use when positioning a Journal of Human Resources manuscript against applied microeconomics, labor, education, health, development, discrimination, retirement, and policy literatures, with explicit reconciliation to prior estimates.

jhr-review-process

Use when you need to understand and plan around the Journal of Human Resources (JHR) editorial process — single-anonymous review, the fast desk-reject without outside review, the reconciliation requirement, and the optional review-recycling shortcut. Sets expectations; it does not draft the paper.

jhr-topic-selection

Use when checking whether a research question fits the Journal of Human Resources (JHR) — empirical microeconomics with a policy-relevant, causal emphasis — and to filter out off-scope "HR management" framings before paying the nonrefundable fee. A fit gate, not an idea generator.

jibs-data-analysis

Use when running and reporting the empirical analysis for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — cross-national measurement equivalence, common-method-variance checks, the right multilevel/dynamic-panel estimator, endogeneity and dynamic-endogeneity identification, and robustness aligned to the JIBS methods-editorial canon. Executes and reports; it does not design the study (jibs-methods) or frame the contribution (jibs-contribution-framing).

jie-data-analysis

Use when building or auditing the empirical analysis for a Journal of International Economics (JIE) manuscript — constructing bilateral trade panels, estimating PPML gravity, running open-economy panels and local projections, calibrating/estimating structural models, and producing the robustness suite international-economics referees expect. Strengthens the analysis; it does not fabricate results.

jie-identification-strategy

Use when the identification or modelling strategy is the bottleneck for a Journal of International Economics (JIE) manuscript — gravity/PPML, trade-policy (tariff/RTA) shocks, shift-share/Bartik exposure, exchange-rate pass-through, or a structural open-economy model whose discipline against data is the "identification." Stress-tests the design to the JIE field bar before tables are drafted.
