eer-identificationUse when the empirical causal-identification argument is the bottleneck for a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript — DiD/event-study, IV, RDD, or experiment. Stress-tests the design to EER's general-interest credibility bar before exhibits are finalized; it does not build the theory model or th
eer-literature-positioningUse when the contribution-vs-frontier claim is fuzzy, oversold, or under-cited for a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript spanning any field of economics. Sharpens the gap and the marginal contribution; it does not fix identification or prose.
eer-rebuttalUse when a European Economic Review (EER) decision letter arrives (R&R or reject-with-appeal grounds) and a response strategy and letter are needed. Plans the revision and drafts the point-by-point response; it does not run new estimation or rewrite the whole paper.
eer-referee-strategyUse when anticipating the objections a European Economic Review (EER) referee will raise — under single-anonymized review across any field — and pre-empting them before submission. Maps likely pushback to fixes; it does not draft the response letter (use eer-rebuttal after a decision).
eer-replication-packageUse when assembling the data and code deposit for a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript under Elsevier's mandatory replication policy. Builds a reproducible package and README; it does not run the analysis or write the paper.
eer-robustnessUse when a European Economic Review (EER) result must be shown to survive specification, sample, measurement, and inference changes — the robustness battery referees demand. Builds the stress tests and organizes them; it does not establish the core identification or write the prose.
eer-submissionUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for the European Economic Review (EER) via Editorial Manager — submission fee, single-anonymized review, Elsevier format and house-style rules, declarations, and the data/replication policy. Final checks; it does not draft content.
eer-tables-figuresUse when building or revising exhibits for a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript so they report standard errors, read cleanly, and follow Elsevier economics norms. Designs tables and figures; it does not run the estimation or write the surrounding prose.
eer-theory-modelUse when a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript needs a theoretical model built or tightened — a pure-theory result, a quantitative/structural macro model, or a conceptual frame disciplining an empirical paper. Sharpens the model's contribution, assumptions, and link to data; it does not run th
eer-topic-selectionUse when deciding whether a question is a fit for the European Economic Review (EER) — general-interest across all of economics — rather than a field journal, JEEA, or The Economic Journal. Diagnoses fit and reframes for breadth; it does not build the identification or the model.
eer-workflowUse when deciding which eer-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a European Economic Review (EER) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
eer-writing-styleUse when revising prose for a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript — the abstract, introduction arc, research highlights, and Elsevier house conventions. Makes the general-interest idea land; it does not establish identification, theory, or exhibits.
