jpube-contribution-framingUse when the contribution of a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) manuscript needs sharpening — what the paper teaches about the economic role of government, why it matters for policy, and how it advances public-finance theory or evidence. Frames the contribution; it does not survey the literature
jpube-data-analysisUse when handling the empirical analysis for a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) manuscript — administrative tax/transfer/health/register data, elasticity and bunching estimation, sufficient-statistics and MVPF calculations, heterogeneity, and robustness. Executes the analysis plan; for the causal
jpube-identification-strategyUse when the causal identification strategy is the bottleneck for a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) manuscript — bunching at tax kinks/notches, regression kink (RKD), DID off reform rollout, IV from policy instruments, RDD at eligibility thresholds. Stress-tests the design against public-finance
jpube-literature-positioningUse when positioning a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) manuscript against the public-finance literature — locating the contribution relative to the tax, social-insurance, public-expenditure, and optimal-policy frontier without writing a standalone survey. Positions the paper; it does not frame t
jpube-rebuttalUse when a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) decision letter arrives (revision or reject) and a response strategy, response letter, or appeal decision is needed. Structures the revision and response for single-anonymized specialist review; it does not redo the analysis (route to the relevant jpube
jpube-replication-and-data-policyUse when assembling data and code for a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) manuscript under Elsevier's Option C research-data framework — data-availability statements, repository deposit/citation/linking, restricted administrative data, and a reproducible package. It does not run the analysis.
jpube-review-processUse when you need to understand or plan around the Journal of Public Economics (JPubE / JPubEc) editorial process — single anonymized review with a minimum of two reviewers, the Editorial Manager workflow, the Hendren–Kopczuk editorial leadership, SSRN preprint option, and the one-appeal policy. Exp
jpube-submissionUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for the Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) via Editorial Manager — the US$165 submission fee (US$82.50 student / waived on transfer), single-anonymized review, 250-word abstract, author-date references, editable source files, SSRN option, and AI d
jpube-tables-figuresUse when designing the exhibits for a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) manuscript — bunching density plots, event-study and RD/RKD graphs, incidence and distributional figures, and self-contained tables. Makes the public-finance design visible; it does not run the analysis (use jpube-data-analysi
jpube-topic-selectionUse when assessing whether a research question fits the Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) — the economic role of government (taxation, public expenditure, social insurance, redistribution, externalities, public goods, fiscal policy) — and whether the policy stakes clear the bar for an internationa
jpube-workflowUse when deciding which jpube-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
jpube-writing-styleUse when polishing prose for a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE / JPubEc) manuscript — a 250-word abstract stating purpose, results, and policy conclusion; an intro that lands the government-role question; author-date references; and clear translation of estimates into welfare terms.
