# American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (aej-macroeconomics) ## Journal positioning AEJ: Macroeconomics is the American Economic Association's field home for macro one tier below AER's general-interest bar. It publishes macro, monetary, growth, and business-cycle research — both quantitative/structural models (DSGE, HANK, heterogeneous-agent and quantitative frameworks) and empirical macro. The contribution can be field-specific rather than discipline-wide, but the model discipline or empirical identification must be top-quality; this is the natural home for serious macro that is excellent but narrower than a top-5 swing. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the AEA site and the editorial-manager submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names AEJ: Macro as the target, or is stepping down from a top-5 macro submission. - A paper develops a quantitative/structural macro model (DSGE, HANK, heterogeneous-agent, growth) or a credible empirical-macro design. - A strong macro paper is excellent but narrower than AER's g

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill aej-macroeconomics --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
