aer-skills
Guides empirical economics manuscripts from topic selection through AER submission, covering causal identification, literature positioning, body drafting, robustness checks, referee simulation, and R&R rebuttals with AEA-compliant data deposits.
What's Inside
Skills14
aer-consistency
/aer-consistency
Use when auditing a finished or near-finished AER, AER:Insights, or AEJ manuscript for internal consistency — headline numbers matching across abstract, introduction, results, and tables; sample sizes that add up; correct log-point and percentage-point conversions; resolvable cross-references; and a two-way match between in-text citations and the bibliography. Apply after the body and exhibits exist, before aer-referee-sim and aer-submission.
aer-identification
/aer-identification
Use when selecting, implementing, or stress-testing the causal identification strategy for an empirical economics manuscript — difference-in-differences (including staggered designs), instrumental variables (including weak-IV-robust inference), regression discontinuity, synthetic control, or shift-share / Bartik. Apply before writing the introduction or results.
aer-introduction
/aer-introduction
Use when drafting or rewriting the introduction of an economics manuscript targeted at AER, AER:Insights, or an AEJ, or when compressing an abstract to the mandatory 100-word limit. Implements the Keith Head / Bellemare five-paragraph formula and AER-specific formatting conventions.
aer-literature
/aer-literature
Use when positioning a manuscript against the existing economics literature, building the antecedents map for the introduction, deciding what to cite, or verifying that every reference in the bibliography is real, correctly attributed, and cited to the published version. Apply at topic selection for the novelty scan and again before drafting the introduction.
aer-paper-body
/aer-paper-body
Use when drafting or revising the body sections of an AER, AER:Insights, or AEJ manuscript — institutional background, data, empirical strategy, results, mechanisms, and conclusion. Covers equation conventions, results-paragraph narration, magnitude interpretation, and back-of-envelope policy calculations. Apply after the empirics are stable and before or alongside aer-introduction.
