aejmic-identificationUse when the question is what makes the result tight or what the data identify for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — covering both (a) structural/empirical-IO and experimental identification and (b) for pure theory, which assumptions drive the result and how robu
aejmic-literature-positioningUse when the contribution of an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript is fuzzy or oversold relative to the closest existing results. Stakes the theorem-relative delta against the nearest theory; it does not build the model (see aejmic-theory-model) or frame the prose (see
aejmic-rebuttalUse when drafting the response letter and revision plan after an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) R&R. Structures the reply to theory referees (correctness, generality, exposition) and editor; it does not re-derive the result (see aejmic-theory-model).
aejmic-referee-strategyUse when anticipating referee objections or calibrating review expectations for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript before submission. Pre-empts the objections theory referees raise and reads the editorial process; it does not draft the response letter (see aejmic-re
aejmic-replication-packageUse when assembling the proof appendix and any code/data deposit for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript under the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy. Covers proof appendices for pure theory plus numerical/structural/experimental code; it does not run your estimat
aejmic-robustnessUse when extensions, edge cases, or applied robustness checks are missing for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — covering theory extensions (relaxed assumptions, alternative concepts, perturbations) and applied/experimental robustness. Decides which extensions ear
aejmic-submissionUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for the American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) via the AEA submission system — single-blind review, the 100-word abstract, JEL classification, the submission fee, format, and the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy. Final checks;
aejmic-tables-figuresUse when presenting results for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — propositions, numerical examples, schematic theory figures, and empirical/experimental tables. Builds exhibits to AEA house norms; it does not derive the results (see aejmic-theory-model).
aejmic-theory-modelUse when the model setup, equilibrium concept, or proof architecture is the bottleneck for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — the central skill for a theory-first paper. Builds the model to the AEJ: Micro bar (clean, general, well-motivated result); it does not ch
aejmic-topic-selectionUse when deciding whether a microeconomics project fits the American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) rather than JET, GEB, Theoretical Economics, Econometrica, or AEJ: Applied. Tests scope and broad-interest fit; it does not develop the model (see aejmic-theory-model).
aejmic-workflowUse when deciding which aejmic-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
aejmic-writing-styleUse when prose buries the result or the abstract/intro do not land for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript. Applies AEA house style and the theory-paper intro arc; it does not produce the result (see aejmic-theory-model) or build exhibits (see aejmic-tables-figures).
