Journal Of Public Economics Skills

Agent skill stack for manuscripts targeted at the Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) — Elsevier's flagship field journal in public economics / public finance (est. 1972 by Tony Atkinson), edited by John N. Friedman (Brown) and Wojciech Kopczuk (Columbia). Reflects JPubE's actual process: a US$165 submission fee (US$82.50 for students; waived for Elsevier article-transfer submissions), Editorial M

Skills in this plugin

▌
Jpube Rebuttal · brycewang-stanford
Use 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-* skill).

▌
Jpube Workflow · brycewang-stanford
Use 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 Submission · brycewang-stanford
Use 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 disclosure. Final checks; it does not draft content.

▌
Jpube Data Analysis · brycewang-stanford
Use 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 design itself use jpube-identification-strategy.

▌
Jpube Writing Style · brycewang-stanford
Use 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. Late-stage polish; it does not change the analysis.

▌
Jpube Review Process · brycewang-stanford
Use 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. Explains the process; for the final file check use jpube-submission.

▌
Jpube Tables Figures · brycewang-stanford
Use 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-analysis).

▌
Jpube Topic Selection · brycewang-stanford
Use 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 international readership. Scopes the question; it does not run the analysis.

▌
Jpube Contribution Framing · brycewang-stanford
Use 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 (use jpube-literature-positioning) or run analysis.

▌
Jpube Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanford
Use 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 the core contribution (use jpube-contribution-framing).

▌
Jpube Identification Strategy · brycewang-stanford
Use 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 norms before tables are drafted.

▌
Jpube Replication And Data Policy · brycewang-stanford
Use 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.
