revacc-data-analysis
Use when running and reporting the empirical analysis for a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) manuscript — standard-error clustering, executing the identification, validating accounting constructs, and the robustness battery referees expect, plus the data provenance trail. Executes and reports; it does not choose the identification strategy (revacc-methods) or frame the contribution (revacc-contribution-framing).

# Data Analysis & Robustness (revacc-data-analysis) ## When to trigger - Data are built and it is time to estimate and report - You are unsure how to cluster standard errors for your accounting panel - Referees will probe endogeneity, construct measurement, or the channel - You must document the Compustat/CRSP/I/B/E/S/audit-data provenance behind the sample - An analytical paper needs a stylized empirical illustration of its comparative statics ## Get the standard errors right (a RAST signature check) Empirical-accounting referees scrutinize inference. Default to **clustering by firm**, and consider **two-way clustering by firm and year** (Petersen) when both cross-sectional and time-series dependence are present. With **few clusters** (e.g., a state- or country-level policy), use the **wild-cluster bootstrap** rather than asymptotic cluster-robust SEs. Match the clustering to the source of correlated shocks implied by your design, and report the choice explicitly — an unjustified SE choice is a fast credibility hit at a journal that often decides in one round. ## Execute the identification, don't just assert it - **DiD:** report pre-trends and use heterogeneity-robust estimators f

What does the revacc-data-analysis skill do?
Use when running and reporting the empirical analysis for a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) manuscript — standard-error clustering, executing the identification, validating accounting constructs, and the robustness battery referees expect, plus the data provenance trail. Executes and reports; it does not choose the identification strategy (revacc-methods) or frame the contribution (revacc-contribution-framing).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill revacc-data-analysis --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.
