rje-contribution-framingUse to frame the contribution of a manuscript for The RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) so the industrial-organization advance is legible to the screening Editor and two referees within the hard page caps. Sharpens the one-sentence "so what"; it does not run the analysis.
rje-data-analysisUse when executing and stress-testing the empirical analysis for a RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) industrial-organization manuscript — estimating structural demand/supply, entry, auction, or reduced-form models, then running the robustness, counterfactual, and inference checks IO referees expect. A
rje-identification-strategyUse when the identification or estimation strategy is the bottleneck for a RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) industrial-organization manuscript — structural demand/supply, entry and dynamic games, auctions, or reduced-form designs off mergers and regulation. Stress-tests the design to the IO-flagship
rje-literature-positioningUse to position a manuscript against the industrial-organization frontier for The RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) — staking the contribution against prior IO work without a standalone survey, and citing in the RJE author-date style (no page numbers, no issue numbers). Positioning, not a literature r
rje-rebuttalUse when responding to a revise-and-resubmit from The RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) — answering the two anonymous referees and the handling Editor on an industrial-organization manuscript while respecting the hard page caps and RJE house style. Strategy for the response letter; it does not rewrite
rje-replication-and-data-policyUse to assemble a reproducible replication package for a RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) industrial-organization manuscript and to handle RJE's supporting-information rules correctly — the journal discourages supplementary material and does not host data/code itself. Reflects what is and is NOT conf
rje-review-processUse to understand and plan around The RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) review pipeline — the upfront editor screen (possible desk reject), peer review by two anonymous referees, and a final read by the handling Editor. Sets expectations and shapes a submission that clears the first screen.
rje-submissionUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for The RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) via the Wiley Research Exchange portal — hard page caps (40/50 pp, double-spaced), the <=100-word abstract, the non-refundable submission fee, Word/LaTeX files, and RJE Style Guide compliance. Final checks; i
rje-tables-figuresUse to design tables and figures for a RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) industrial-organization manuscript — parameter, elasticity, markup, merger-simulation, and counterfactual-welfare exhibits — formatted under the RJE Style Guide (numbered sections, unnumbered subsections, flush-right equations) a
rje-topic-selectionUse to test whether a research question fits The RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) — the flagship industrial-organization journal with a deliberately narrow applied-microeconomics scope (regulated industries, antitrust/competition, market structure, firm strategy, the economics of organizations). Scre
rje-workflowUse when routing a RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) manuscript to the right rje-* skill across the industrial-organization lifecycle — from IO topic fit through structural or reduced-form identification, exhibit design, Wiley Research Exchange submission, the editor screen, and the two-referee respon
rje-writing-styleUse to make a manuscript conform to The RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) Style Guide — author-date citations with no page numbers, references with no issue numbers, numbered sections with unnumbered subsections, flush-right equation numbering, and the journal's distinctive house usage rules.
