Skills in this plugin

▌
Jfe Rebuttal · brycewang-stanford
Use when drafting the response to a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) revise-and-resubmit — the response letter, point-by-point replies, and the revision-tracking that JFE's demanding rounds require. Drafts the response after revisions are made; it does not invent new results you have not run.

▌
Jfe Workflow · brycewang-stanford
Use when deciding which jfe-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

▌
Jfe Robustness · brycewang-stanford
Use when a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) result needs the exhaustive robustness battery the journal is known for — alternative measures, subsamples, specifications, and falsification. Builds the stress-test plan; it does not choose the core estimator (jfe-empirical-design) or the identification design (jfe-identification).

▌
Jfe Submission · brycewang-stanford bundle
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) manuscript — formatting, anonymity, references, exhibits, code/data deposit, the editorial system, and the submission fee. Checks submission readiness; it does not revise the science.

▌
Jfe Writing Style · brycewang-stanford
Use when the prose of a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) manuscript needs to reach the journal's register — precise, evidence-forward, and free of hedging or overclaiming. Polishes language and structure; it does not change the empirics or the contribution.

▌
Jfe Identification · brycewang-stanford
Use when the causal identification or inference design is the bottleneck for a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) manuscript — natural experiments, IV, staggered DID, RDD, and explicit endogeneity/selection treatment. Stress-tests the design before drafting tables; it does not finalize factor construction or estimators (see jfe-empirical-design).

▌
Jfe Tables Figures · brycewang-stanford
Use when the exhibits of a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) manuscript need to meet house standards — readable tables, self-contained notes, and figures that carry the argument. Handles exhibit craft; it does not decide which robustness tests to run (jfe-robustness).

▌
Jfe Topic Selection · brycewang-stanford
Use when scoping or framing a topic for a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) manuscript and you need to test fit and contribution before investing in data work. Pressure-tests the question and contribution; it does not write the literature review or design the empirics.

▌
Jfe Empirical Design · brycewang-stanford
Use when settling the measurement and estimation choices of a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) manuscript — factor construction, portfolio sorts, Fama-MacBeth/GMM, standard-error clustering, and multiple-testing discipline. Covers the design/estimator layer; for causal identification of corporate-finance effects use jfe-identification.

▌
Jfe Referee Strategy · brycewang-stanford
Use when anticipating and pre-empting the objections a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) referee will raise — endogeneity, fragility, multiple testing, alternative explanations. Builds a defense plan before or during review; it does not draft the post-R&R response letter (jfe-rebuttal).

1k repo stars
▌
Jfe Internet Appendix · brycewang-stanford
Use when organizing the journal-hosted Internet Appendix for a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) manuscript — what to move off the main text, how to cross-reference it, and how to keep it self-contained. Structures the appendix; it does not decide which robustness tests to run (jfe-robustness).

▌
Jfe Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanford
Use when the related-work section of a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) manuscript reads like a list and the marginal contribution relative to the top-3 finance frontier is not sharp. Builds the positioning argument; it does not assess identification or design.
