ecj-theory-model
Use when a The Economic Journal (EJ) manuscript needs an explicit economic model or mechanism — either a theory paper's model, or the framework that gives a reduced-form empirical result its economic meaning. Builds and disciplines the economic argument; it does not run estimation (see ecj-identification).

# Theory & Mechanism Model (ecj-theory-model) ## When to trigger - A reduced-form result has no model or stated mechanism behind it ("what is the economics?") - A structural/theory paper's model exists but its assumptions or comparative statics are not disciplined - The empirical specification is not derived from, or connected to, any economic framework - A referee will ask which economic force dr

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ecj-theory-model --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.
