jeea-identification
Use when the identification argument is the bottleneck for a Journal of the European Economic Association (JEEA) manuscript — credible causal identification in an empirical design, parameter identification in a structural/quantitative model, or the source of identification in a theory paper. Stress-tests the strategy to JEEA's general-interest bar before exhibits are finalized.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Identification Strategy (jeea-identification) ## When to trigger - An empirical causal claim rests on OLS + controls, or TWFE on staggered timing - A structural model's parameters are estimated but it is unclear *what in the data* identifies them - A theory paper's result depends on assumptions whose role is not transparent - You are unsure the identification clears JEEA's general-interest theory-and-empirics bar ## The JEEA identification bar JEEA spans **theory and empirics**, so "identification" means different things by branch — but in every case the **mapping from assumptions/data to the object of interest must be explicit and defended**, and credible enough for a general-interest readership and a co-editor who is not a subfield specialist. JEEA's house norms reinforce this: report **standard errors and confidence sets** (no significance asterisks/boldface for significance) and make the empirical strategy reproducible for the **JEEA Data Editor's pre-acceptance replication check** (DCAS). Pick the branch and make the argument legible. ## Branch paths ### Branch A: Structural / quantitative identification - **Name what identifies each parameter.** Tie parameters to specific d

What does the jeea-identification skill do?
Use when the identification argument is the bottleneck for a Journal of the European Economic Association (JEEA) manuscript — credible causal identification in an empirical design, parameter identification in a structural/quantitative model, or the source of identification in a theory paper. Stress-tests the strategy to JEEA's general-interest bar before exhibits are finalized.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jeea-identification --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.
