# Journal of Urban Economics (journal-of-urban-economics) ## Journal positioning JUE is the field flagship for urban, regional, and spatial economics, publishing the most consequential work on agglomeration, housing, local labor markets, transportation, and place-based policy. It rewards papers that answer a substantive spatial-economics question with credible identification or a serious spatial-equilibrium model. The readership is urban and regional economists, so a paper must combine a spatial mechanism with state-of-the-art empirical or structural execution. 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 Elsevier site and the editorial submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names JUE as the target venue, or wants the urban/regional-economics field flagship. - An urban or spatial paper has credible identification or a spatial-equilibrium model but is narrower than a top-5 result. - A regional or local-policy paper needs re-framing so the contribution reads as spatial economics — agglomeration, sorting, spatial equilibr

What does the journal-of-urban-economics skill do?
Use when targeting Journal of Urban Economics (JUE) or deciding whether an urban-, regional-, or spatial-economics manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill journal-of-urban-economics --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.
