jimf-robustness
Use when a Journal of International Money and Finance (JIMF) result must be shown stable across samples, regimes, measures, and inference choices. Designs the robustness layer mapped to international-finance threats; it does not establish the design (jimf-identification / jimf-empirical-design).

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Robustness Strategy (jimf-robustness) ## When to trigger - The main coefficient is in hand but a referee will ask whether it survives sample, period, and measurement choices - The result might be driven by one crisis episode, one dominant country (the US), or one regime - Inference is OLS-clustered-one-way and the panel has serial and cross-sectional correlation - You are assembling a robustness section and want it to answer *threats*, not pad column count ## The JIMF robustness logic: every check answers a named threat A JIMF robustness section is persuasive when each exhibit is tied to an *international-finance threat to inference*, not when it is a wall of specifications. Build the section as a threat → check map. The threats that JIMF referees raise most are: a single global episode driving everything; US-centrism; regime dependence; a fragile measurement choice; and inference that ignores cross-country dependence. | Threat (JIMF-specific) | Check that answers it | |------------------------|------------------------| | One global episode drives the result (GFC, taper tantrum, COVID) | Drop the episode / window; rolling samples; show stability | | US-centrism — the result is th

What does the jimf-robustness skill do?
Use when a Journal of International Money and Finance (JIMF) result must be shown stable across samples, regimes, measures, and inference choices. Designs the robustness layer mapped to international-finance threats; it does not establish the design (jimf-identification / jimf-empirical-design).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jimf-robustness --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.
