jme-literature-positioning
Use when positioning a Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) manuscript against the monetary-economics and macroeconomics frontier — staking the contribution against monetary-policy, business-cycle, DSGE, intermediation, and expectations literatures without writing a standalone survey.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Literature Positioning (jme-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - The contribution relative to prior monetary/macro work is fuzzy or oversold - Reviewers might say "this is already known" or "this is a known DSGE result" - The related-work section reads as a survey instead of a stake in the ground - You are unsure which strands (policy transmission, frictions, expectations) you build on and beat ## How JME referees read the literature JME draws on overlapping macro literatures: **monetary-policy transmission** (the interest-rate, credit, and risk-taking channels), **New Keynesian / DSGE** modeling, **financial intermediation and frictions** (Bernanke–Gertler–Gilchrist-style accelerators, Gertler–Kiyotaki banking), **business cycles and growth**, **fiscal–monetary interactions**, and **expectations / information** (rational, sticky, and behavioral). With **single anonymized review** (referees know who you are) and a **minimum of two reviewers**, you should assume your referees are specialists in exactly the strand you extend — so cite the immediate frontier precisely and do not paper over the closest competitor. Because JME enforces a **40-page** limit on accepted papers, t

What does the jme-literature-positioning skill do?
Use when positioning a Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) manuscript against the monetary-economics and macroeconomics frontier — staking the contribution against monetary-policy, business-cycle, DSGE, intermediation, and expectations literatures without writing a standalone survey.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jme-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 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.
