Use when targeting Experimental Economics or deciding whether a lab- or field-experiment manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Experimental Economics (experimental-economics) ## Journal positioning Experimental Economics is the journal of the Economic Science Association (the ESA), the leading specialist outlet for experimental methods in economics. It rewards papers in which a carefully designed experiment — lab or field — answers a question about behavior, institutions, or theory that observational data cannot cleanly identify. The readership is experimental and behavioral economists who scrutinize design, incentive-compatibility, and replicability, so the experiment itself is the core of the contribution. 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 ESA / Springer site and the editorial submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names Experimental Economics (or the ESA outlet) as the target venue. - A paper's central evidence is an experiment and the design is the contribution. - A behavioral or theory-testing paper needs re-framing so the experimental design and incentives are foregrounded. - The author needs this venue's desk-reject risks a

What does the experimental-economics skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill experimental-economics --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 984 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.
