jeem-literature-positioning
Use when the contribution of a Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) manuscript relative to the environmental-economics frontier and its sibling journals is fuzzy or undersold. Stakes the claim against the field; it does not invent evidence or citations.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Literature Positioning (jeem-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - A referee or coauthor says "we already know this" or "how is this different from [field paper]?" - The intro reviews the environmental literature but never states what is *new* about this paper - The paper could be read as a near-replication of a known hedonic / DiD / valuation study - You must show the marginal contribution to environmental economics, not to applied micro in general ## What "contribution" means at JEEM JEEM referees are environmental and resource economists; they read the literature you are extending and they reward a contribution that is **environmental-economic**, not merely methodological or empirical-on-a-green-dataset. A clean DiD on a new policy is not automatically a contribution — the question is whether it moves the field's understanding of an **externality, a regulatory instrument, a resource margin, or a nonmarket value**. State the contribution as one of these: - **A policy parameter the field needs** — a new estimate of a marginal damage, an abatement-cost elasticity, a permit-market pass-through, a compliance cost, a resource-rent dissipation. - **A new identification of an o

What does the jeem-literature-positioning skill do?
Use when the contribution of a Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) manuscript relative to the environmental-economics frontier and its sibling journals is fuzzy or undersold. Stakes the claim against the field; it does not invent evidence or citations.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jeem-literature-positioning --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.
