qje-theory-model
Use when a Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE) manuscript has a credible empirical result but no conceptual frame — to add the model or framework that turns a coefficient into a lesson with broad implications. Frames the result conceptually; it does not redesign the identification.

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.
# Theory & Conceptual Frame (qje-theory-model) ## When to trigger - The empirics are clean but the paper reads as "a coefficient with no story" - Referees would ask "what is the economic mechanism / model behind this?" - There is a verbal mechanism but no formalization tying estimates to parameters - The result is interesting but its broad implication is not articulated ## Why QJE wants a frame, n

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