# Journal of Economic Theory (journal-of-economic-theory) ## Journal positioning The Journal of Economic Theory (JET) is a field-defining outlet for pure economic theory — decision theory, general equilibrium, game theory, mechanism design, and the foundations of economic reasoning. The paper that wins here proves a theorem that is correct, general, and consequential, advancing the theory itself rather than illustrating it with an application. The readership is economic theorists, so the contribution is judged on generality, novelty, and the depth of the result, not on empirical relevance. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the publisher's own site or submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names JET (or a top theory outlet) as the target venue. - A paper proves a general theoretical result and the author is choosing among theory venues. - An applied-theory or modeling paper needs re-framing to make clear whether the contribution is the theory (here) or the application (elsewhere). - The author needs JET's desk-re

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