▌
Jole Rebuttal · brycewang-stanford
Use when drafting a response letter to a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) revise-and-resubmit — addressing single-blind labor referees point by point under the journal's word economy. Strategy and structure; it does not run new estimations for you.

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

▌
Jole Submission · brycewang-stanford
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) via Editorial Manager — single-blind NON-anonymized format, title page with all co-authors, 100-word abstract, the 20,000-word soft cap, Chicago author-date references, and the non-refundable submission fee. Final checks; it does not draft content.

▌
Jole Data Analysis · brycewang-stanford
Use when executing the empirical analysis for a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript — labor sample construction (CPS/ACS/registers), wage decompositions, standard errors, and robustness to labor norms, with replicability built in from the start. Operational guidance; pairs with jole-identification-strategy.

▌
Jole Writing Style · brycewang-stanford
Use when polishing prose, the 100-word abstract, and the introduction for a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript — Chicago author-date references, the 20,000-word economy, and a general labor-economics audience. Polishes exposition; it does not change results or design.

▌
Jole Review Process · brycewang-stanford
Use to understand how the Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) actually reviews a paper — single-blind refereeing, the non-refundable submission fee, Editorial Manager, the SOLE society tie, and what labor referees expect. Explains the process; it does not draft the manuscript.

▌
Jole Tables Figures · brycewang-stanford
Use when designing tables and figures for a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript under the journal's word economy — each full-page table or figure counts as 500 words toward the ~20,000-word limit. Makes exhibits earn their space; it does not run the analysis.

▌
Jole Topic Selection · brycewang-stanford
Use when deciding whether a research question fits the Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) — a general-interest labor-economics quarterly — and how to frame it so it matters to labor economists broadly, not just one niche. Tests fit; it does not run the analysis.

▌
Jole Contribution Framing · brycewang-stanford
Use when articulating what is new in a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript for a general labor-economics audience — the marginal contribution, the labor lesson, and why a labor economist outside the subfield should care. Frames the pitch; it does not run analysis.

▌
Jole Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanford
Use when positioning a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript against the labor literature — staking the contribution against the closest papers under Chicago author-date citation norms, not writing a standalone survey. Positions the paper; it does not run analysis.

1k repo stars
▌
Jole Identification Strategy · brycewang-stanford
Use when the causal identification strategy is the bottleneck for a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript — DID/event study, IV including shift-share, RDD, RCT, and AKM firm–worker designs common in labor economics. Stress-tests the design to JOLE's bar before tables are drafted.

▌
Jole Replication And Data Policy · brycewang-stanford
Use when assembling the data and code deposit for an accepted Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) paper — the JOLE Dataverse Repository, the AER data-availability policy (adopted Feb 2009), and proprietary-data handling. Builds the replication package; it does not run analysis.
