Quantitative Economics Skills

Agent skill stack for manuscripts targeted at Quantitative Economics (QE) — the empirically and computationally oriented general-interest journal of the Econometric Society, sister to Econometrica and Theoretical Economics, published Open Access (CC BY-NC) and hosted on Wiley Online Library (ISSN 1759-7331). Covers QE's distinctive process: Econometric Society membership gate, submission fee paid

Skills in this plugin

▌
Qe Rebuttal · brycewang-stanford
Use when a Quantitative Economics (QE) decision letter arrives (R&R or major/conditional revision) and a response strategy and letter are needed. Structures the revision and response; it does not redo the analysis (route to the relevant qe-* skill for that).

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

▌
Qe Submission · brycewang-stanford bundle
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for Quantitative Economics (QE) via the Econometric Society online portal — membership gate, submission fee, PDF format rules, the Econometrica-transfer option, public-posting requirement, and the no-asterisks house style. Final checks; it does not draft content.

▌
Qe Data Analysis · brycewang-stanford
Use when executing or auditing the quantitative core of a Quantitative Economics (QE) manuscript — estimation (structural/GMM/MSM or causal), moment construction, data cleaning, computation, and inference — so results are credible and reproducible for the ES Data Editor. Runs and checks the analysis; for the identification argument route to qe-identification-strategy.

▌
Qe Writing Style · brycewang-stanford
Use when polishing prose, abstract, and introduction for a Quantitative Economics (QE) manuscript so a quantitative method and its economic payoff land for a general-interest Econometric Society readership. Reflects QE house rules (no significance asterisks; report SEs/coverage sets). Polishes exposition; it does not change results or estimation.

▌
Qe Review Process · brycewang-stanford
Use to understand and plan around the Quantitative Economics (QE) editorial timeline — desk-reject risk, external refereeing, ~4-5 month target turnaround, 12-month revise windows, the Econometrica-transfer route, and the pre-acceptance ES Data Editor check. Sets expectations; it does not draft the paper.

▌
Qe Tables Figures · brycewang-stanford
Use when building or auditing tables and figures for a Quantitative Economics (QE) manuscript so exhibits follow QE house rules — no significance asterisks or boldface, standard errors and coverage sets shown, figures/tables placed in-text, and final files as .eps/.jpg. Shapes exhibits; it does not redo the estimation.

▌
Qe Topic Selection · brycewang-stanford
Use when first judging whether a project fits Quantitative Economics (QE) — a substantive economic question answered with serious quantitative methods (empirical, structural/computational, experimental, or simulation), sister to Econometrica and Theoretical Economics. Tests fit and sharpens the question; it does not design the estimation.

▌
Qe Contribution Framing · brycewang-stanford
Use to sharpen the one-sentence contribution of a Quantitative Economics (QE) manuscript so a general-interest Econometric Society reader sees the quantitative payoff immediately. Frames the claim and its scope; it does not redo estimation or write full prose.

▌
Qe Literature Positioning · brycewang-stanford
Use to stake a Quantitative Economics (QE) manuscript's contribution against the frontier — what quantitative gap it closes relative to prior empirical, structural, and methodological work, and against its Econometric Society siblings. Positions the paper; it does not write a standalone literature survey.

1k repo stars
▌
Qe Identification Strategy · brycewang-stanford
Use when the identification argument is the bottleneck for a Quantitative Economics (QE) manuscript — whether causal identification in an empirical design, parameter identification in a structural/computational model, or treatment-effect identification in an experiment. Stress-tests the strategy to the QE general-interest quantitative bar before exhibits are finalized.

▌
Qe Replication And Data Policy · brycewang-stanford
Use to assemble a Quantitative Economics (QE) replication package that passes the Econometric Society Data Editor's pre-acceptance reproducibility check — raw data, code, documentation, README, and any exemption requests — under the DCAS-compatible ES Data and Code Availability Policy (NOT the JAE archive). Builds and audits the package; it does not run the estimation.
