ectheory-contribution-framingUse to frame the central result of an Econometric Theory (ET) paper so its generality and importance are legible — stating the theorem and its scope up front, choosing Article vs Miscellanea framing, and matching the new editorial program's themed directions.
ectheory-data-analysisUse for the Monte Carlo and numerical-illustration component of an Econometric Theory (ET) paper — designing simulations that show finite-sample behavior tracks the asymptotics, plus any illustrative empirical example. Lighter than empirical journals; the spine stays the theory.
ectheory-identification-strategyUse when the assumptions, regularity conditions, and asymptotic results are the bottleneck for an Econometric Theory (ET) theorem-proof paper — adapt "identification" to mean stating defensible assumptions, proving the limit theory, and establishing generality, not causal design.
ectheory-literature-positioningUse to stake an Econometric Theory (ET) contribution against the existing theory frontier — which assumptions you weaken, which limit result you generalize, what was previously unproven — using APA author-date citations, not a standalone literature survey.
ectheory-rebuttalUse when an Econometric Theory (ET) decision letter arrives and a response strategy and letter are needed — handling proof-checking referee objections, fixing assumptions and gaps, and using the online Supplement, then writing a point-by-point response. It structures the revision, not the proofs the
ectheory-replication-and-data-policyUse to handle reproducibility and the supplementary-material file for an Econometric Theory (ET) paper — ET has no mandatory data/code archive (theory journal); the relevant policy is the voluntary online Supplementary Material for already-reviewed proofs, derivations, and simulation evidence.
ectheory-review-processUse to understand and prepare for the Econometric Theory (ET) review process — single-anonymous refereeing (reviewers see the author), the Article/Miscellanea/ET-Interview article types, and war-gaming the proof-checking referee before submitting.
ectheory-submissionUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for Econometric Theory (ET) via ScholarOne / Manuscript Central — single embedded-font PDF, single-anonymous (no double-blind anonymization), APA author-date references, the 50-page ceiling, the optional cover letter, and the Supplementary Material
ectheory-tables-figuresUse for the exhibits in an Econometric Theory (ET) paper — Monte Carlo size/power/coverage tables, finite-sample and limit-behavior plots, with self-contained notes, ET figure-format specs (TIFF/EPS/PDF), and legibility at 50% reduction.
ectheory-topic-selectionUse when deciding whether a result is the right kind of contribution for Econometric Theory (ET) — a general, foundational econometric-theory result (asymptotics, proofs, theorems) rather than an applied estimate, and whether it fits a full Article or a short Miscellanea.
ectheory-workflowUse as the router for an Econometric Theory (ET) manuscript — decides which ectheory-* skill to invoke next across the theorem-proof lifecycle, from topic selection through single-anonymous review and rebuttal. Start here when unsure where you are.
ectheory-writing-styleUse to polish the prose, notation, and proof exposition of an Econometric Theory (ET) manuscript — theorem-proof clarity, consistent notation, APA author-date references, and ET manuscript-prep specs (11pt, 1.5 spacing, 1.25in margins, 200-word abstract, 40-char running head).
