red-literature-positioning
Use when positioning a Review of Economic Dynamics (RED) manuscript within the dynamic-economics and SED literature — mapping the quantitative-macro lineage a paper builds on, citing in author-year style, and making the marginal advance legible to the Society for Economic Dynamics readership rather than a generalist audience.

# Literature Positioning for RED (red-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - Writing the introduction and related-work sections for a RED submission - Unsure which strand of the dynamic-economics literature the paper extends - Pitching the contribution to the SED community versus a generalist top-5 framing ## How to position for RED RED's readers are the **SED community** working on dynamic models. Position the paper inside the **method lineage**, not just the topic: - Name the **modeling tradition** you extend (e.g., RBC/DSGE, Aiyagari/Bewley–Huggett heterogeneous agents, Krusell–Smith aggregate-uncertainty methods, search/matching, endogenous growth, HANK). - State the **quantitative gap** precisely: which moment the prior models miss, which mechanism is absent, which policy environment is unmodeled, or which computational barrier you remove. - Distinguish your **contribution type** — a new mechanism, a new solution/estimation method, a new quantitative finding, or a new empirical regularity that disciplines the model. - Use **author-year (Harvard-style)** citations throughout, consistent with RED's reference system. Because RED's scope is method-defined, the literature you

What does the red-literature-positioning skill do?
Use when positioning a Review of Economic Dynamics (RED) manuscript within the dynamic-economics and SED literature — mapping the quantitative-macro lineage a paper builds on, citing in author-year style, and making the marginal advance legible to the Society for Economic Dynamics readership rather than a generalist audience.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill red-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.
