Use to position a Journal of International Economics (JIE) manuscript against the international-trade or open-economy-macro frontier — staking the contribution against gravity/structural-trade or international-finance literatures without writing a standalone survey. Sharpens positioning; it does not draft the paper.
Use to understand how editorial handling and refereeing work at the Journal of International Economics (JIE) — the regular/short/PRP submission types, the Prior Review Process expedite option that carries decision letters and referee reports from AER/Econometrica/JPE/QJE/REStud, desk-reject odds, and (Co-)Editor routing between trade and international macro/finance. Sets expectations; it does not draft content.
Use when checking whether a paper fits the Journal of International Economics (JIE) scope and clears its originality gate — trade patterns and commercial policy, exchange rates, open-economy macro, international finance, sovereign debt, factor mobility, spatial economics, and whether the motivation or modelling structure is original. Tests fit; it does not pick your topic for you.
Use when designing a multi-country or cross-cultural study for a Journal of International Marketing (JIM) manuscript — country selection, sampling and translation equivalence, measurement-invariance planning, cross-cultural experiments, and export/entry-mode secondary data. It designs; jim-data-analysis estimates and reports.
Use when the cross-country/time-series data construction, sample, frequency, or measurement of a Journal of International Money and Finance (JIMF) manuscript is the bottleneck. Builds the international dataset and measurement; it does not establish causality (jimf-identification) or run robustness (jimf-robustness).
Use when the identification argument is the bottleneck for a Journal of International Money and Finance (JIMF) manuscript — open-economy causal designs, high-frequency policy/FX surprises, capital-control natural experiments, or parameter identification in an open-economy model. Stress-tests the strategy to JIMF's international-finance bar.
Use when deciding whether a question belongs at the Journal of International Money and Finance (JIMF) and how to frame it as international monetary/financial economics. Tests scope and the international margin; it does not invent evidence, exemplars, or citations.
Use when a The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) manuscript's headline estimate must be shown to survive specification, sample, jurisdiction, and inference choices before submission or in an R&R. Builds the robustness suite a law-and-economics referee expects; it does not establish the primary identification (jle-identification) or format the exhibits (jle-tables-figures).
Use when the identification argument is the bottleneck for an empirical Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization (JLEO) manuscript — institutional/organizational causal designs (reforms, institutional variation, court/committee/case assignment, governance-form choice). Stress-tests the design to JLEO's institutional bar; it does not build the theory model (jleo-theory-model).
Use when running and reporting the statistical analysis for a Journal of Marketing (JM) manuscript — the right estimator for a big-tent design, JM's exact p-value / standard-error / effect-size reporting mandate, identification and robustness, and the JM Dataverse replication packet. Executes and reports the analysis; it does not design the study (jm-methods) or frame the contribution (jm-contribution-framing).
