# Literature Positioning (jeg-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - The introduction lists papers but does not say where yours sits or what it adds - A referee might ask "how is this different from the standard endogenous-growth / unified-growth account?" - You are unsure which strands of the growth literature you must engage ## Why JEG positioning is distinctive JEG runs both theory and empirics in growth, so a paper must be located on **two axes at once**: (1) the substantive growth strand (neoclassical, endogenous, unified, institutions, human capital, fertility, trade, finance, migration), and (2) the methodological mode (formal theory, cross-country/panel empirics, calibrated quantitative model). Reviewers are growth specialists; vague gestures at "the growth literature" will not satisfy them. ## Build the spine 1. **Name the strand and its canonical mechanism.** State the workhorse account you are speaking to (e.g., the human-capital channel for cross-country income gaps, the demographic-transition mechanism in unified growth theory, the role of R&D in endogenous growth) without misattributing specific papers — verify any citation against the actual source (待核实 if unsu

What does the jeg-literature-positioning skill do?

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