Claude Skills by brycewang-stanford

Use to understand and plan around the Journal of Human Resources (JHR) editorial process — single-anonymous review, the fast desk-reject without outside review, the reconciliation requirement, and the optional review-recycling shortcut. Sets expectations; it does not draft the paper.

Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the Journal of Human Resources (JHR) via the msubmit.net portal — the page-count limit, the nonrefundable upfront fee, the per-author disclosure statement, the data-archive footnote, and scope fit. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Use when preparing Journal of Human Resources tables, figures, online appendix exhibits, reconciliation tables, causal-design diagnostics, and policy-readable empirical displays under the page limit.

Use when checking whether a research question fits the Journal of Human Resources (JHR) — empirical microeconomics with a policy-relevant, causal emphasis — and to filter out off-scope "HR management" framings before paying the nonrefundable fee. A fit gate, not an idea generator.

Use when deciding which jhr-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Human Resources (JHR) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Use when polishing Journal of Human Resources prose, abstract, introduction, results paragraphs, policy interpretation, disclosure language, and page-limited manuscript structure.

Use when turning results into an explicit contribution to international-business theory for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — stating what the field learns about cross-border activity, why it is non-incremental, and its implications for IB theory, practice, and (per JIBS's mission) societal impact. Frames the claim; it does not run analysis (jibs-data-analysis) or position the literature (jibs-literature-positioning).

Use when running and reporting the empirical analysis for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — cross-national measurement equivalence, common-method-variance checks, the right multilevel/dynamic-panel estimator, endogeneity and dynamic-endogeneity identification, and robustness aligned to the JIBS methods-editorial canon. Executes and reports; it does not design the study (jibs-methods) or frame the contribution (jibs-contribution-framing).

Use when positioning a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript within the international-business conversation — joining a live IB debate, problematizing rather than gap-spotting, and situating the work against the JIBS canon and adjacent IB outlets. Frames the conversation; it does not state the final contribution claim (jibs-contribution-framing).

Use when designing the empirical study for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — matching a cross-country and/or multilevel design to the question, planning for measurement equivalence, common-method variance, and endogeneity before data collection. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation (jibs-data-analysis) or build the mechanism (jibs-theory-development).

Use when planning revisions and drafting the point-by-point response letter after a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) revise-and-resubmit — prioritizing by the area editor's letter, executing the cross-national measurement, CMV, and (dynamic-)endogeneity work reviewers demand, and citing the relevant methods editorials. Drafts the revision and response; it does not interpret the decision (jibs-review-process).

Use when setting expectations for, or interpreting, the Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) editorial process — the desk-screen, double-blind review, area-editor routing by IB subfield, the methods-editorial standards reviewers apply, and how to read a JIBS decision letter. Explains the process; the response letter itself is drafted with jibs-rebuttal.

Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — the Springer Nature portal, double-blind anonymization, JIBS Style Guide formatting and the inclusive word limit, the DART Data Accessibility Statement and Code of Ethics, and required files. Checks readiness to submit; it does not handle the post-decision response (jibs-rebuttal).

Use when finalizing the tables and figures for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — cross-country descriptives, correlation/result tables, measurement-invariance and CMV diagnostic exhibits, cross-level interaction plots, and country-coverage maps, all in JIBS Style Guide form and counted inside the word limit. Polishes exhibits; do not invoke until the model and contribution are settled.

Use when building the theoretical mechanism and deriving hypotheses for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — specifying cross-level (country/culture → firm/individual) logic, boundary conditions, and an explicit contribution to international-business theory. Builds the argument; it does not test it (jibs-data-analysis) or pick the design (jibs-methods).

Use when choosing or sharpening a research question for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — testing whether it is a genuine international-business phenomenon with country/culture as a level of analysis, and whether JIBS (vs. AMJ/SMJ/JWB) is the right venue. Locks the question; it does not build the mechanism (jibs-theory-development).

Use when deciding which jibs-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Use when polishing the prose of a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — a phenomenon-forward narrative, an explicit IB contribution, disciplined cross-cultural terminology, the inclusive word budget, and JIBS Style Guide conventions (11-pt Times New Roman, double-spaced, author-date). Polishes language; it does not fix a thin contribution (jibs-contribution-framing) or weak analysis (jibs-data-analysis).

Use to frame the contribution of a Journal of International Economics (JIE) manuscript so it clears the journal's gate that work be original in its motivation or modelling structure — articulating what is new for international trade or international macro/finance, for an audience split between the two halves of the field. Frames the "what's new"; it does not produce the results.

Use when building or auditing the empirical analysis for a Journal of International Economics (JIE) manuscript — constructing bilateral trade panels, estimating PPML gravity, running open-economy panels and local projections, calibrating/estimating structural models, and producing the robustness suite international-economics referees expect. Strengthens the analysis; it does not fabricate results.

Use when the identification or modelling strategy is the bottleneck for a Journal of International Economics (JIE) manuscript — gravity/PPML, trade-policy (tariff/RTA) shocks, shift-share/Bartik exposure, exchange-rate pass-through, or a structural open-economy model whose discipline against data is the "identification." Stress-tests the design to the JIE field bar before tables are drafted.

Use to position a Journal of International Economics (JIE) manuscript against the international-trade or open-economy-macro frontier — staking the contribution against gravity/structural-trade or international-finance literatures without writing a standalone survey. Sharpens positioning; it does not draft the paper.

Use when drafting the response letter for a revise-and-resubmit at the Journal of International Economics (JIE) — answering international-trade or open-economy-macro referees on gravity/structural specification, identification, and model discipline, and keeping the revision within JIE's scope and originality bar. Structures the rebuttal; it does not invent results.

Use when preparing the replication package for a Journal of International Economics (JIE) manuscript — JIE requires that all materials needed to replicate published papers (computer programs and data sets) be deposited in the journal's secure repository (Mendeley Data). Builds the deposit; it does not run your analysis.

Use to understand how editorial handling and refereeing work at the Journal of International Economics (JIE) — the regular/short/PRP submission types, the Prior Review Process expedite option that carries decision letters and referee reports from AER/Econometrica/JPE/QJE/REStud, desk-reject odds, and (Co-)Editor routing between trade and international macro/finance. Sets expectations; it does not draft content.

Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the Journal of International Economics (JIE) via Elsevier's Editorial Manager — the non-refundable submission fee, the regular/short/PRP Article Type choice, the 150-word abstract, 1-7 keywords, suggesting a fitting (Co-)Editor, and reference completeness. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Use when building or auditing tables and figures for a Journal of International Economics (JIE) manuscript — gravity/coefficient tables, event-study and pass-through impulse-response plots, structural counterfactual charts, and self-contained notes that an international-trade or open-economy-macro referee can read standalone. Shapes exhibits; it does not generate results.

Use when checking whether a paper fits the Journal of International Economics (JIE) scope and clears its originality gate — trade patterns and commercial policy, exchange rates, open-economy macro, international finance, sovereign debt, factor mobility, spatial economics, and whether the motivation or modelling structure is original. Tests fit; it does not pick your topic for you.

Router for the Journal of International Economics (JIE) skill pack — given where a manuscript stands (idea, identification, data, framing, exhibits, polish, replication, review, submission, rebuttal), it names the next jie-* skill to use. Routes only; it does not produce manuscript content.

Use to align prose, abstract, and structure with Journal of International Economics (JIE) house norms — the 150-word factual abstract, 1-7 keywords, balancing theory and empirics, and writing for an audience split between international trade and international macro/finance. Shapes style; it does not generate results.

Use when articulating what is new in a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript for a general labor-economics audience — the marginal contribution, the labor lesson, and why a labor economist outside the subfield should care. Frames the pitch; it does not run analysis.

Use when executing the empirical analysis for a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript — labor sample construction (CPS/ACS/registers), wage decompositions, standard errors, and robustness to labor norms, with replicability built in from the start. Operational guidance; pairs with jole-identification-strategy.

Use when the causal identification strategy is the bottleneck for a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript — DID/event study, IV including shift-share, RDD, RCT, and AKM firm–worker designs common in labor economics. Stress-tests the design to JOLE's bar before tables are drafted.

Use when positioning a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript against the labor literature — staking the contribution against the closest papers under Chicago author-date citation norms, not writing a standalone survey. Positions the paper; it does not run analysis.

Use when drafting a response letter to a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) revise-and-resubmit — addressing single-blind labor referees point by point under the journal's word economy. Strategy and structure; it does not run new estimations for you.

Use when assembling the data and code deposit for an accepted Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) paper — the JOLE Dataverse Repository, the AER data-availability policy (adopted Feb 2009), and proprietary-data handling. Builds the replication package; it does not run analysis.

Use to understand how the Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) actually reviews a paper — single-blind refereeing, the non-refundable submission fee, Editorial Manager, the SOLE society tie, and what labor referees expect. Explains the process; it does not draft the manuscript.

Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) via Editorial Manager — single-blind NON-anonymized format, title page with all co-authors, 100-word abstract, the 20,000-word soft cap, Chicago author-date references, and the non-refundable submission fee. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Use when designing tables and figures for a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript under the journal's word economy — each full-page table or figure counts as 500 words toward the ~20,000-word limit. Makes exhibits earn their space; it does not run the analysis.

Use when deciding whether a research question fits the Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) — a general-interest labor-economics quarterly — and how to frame it so it matters to labor economists broadly, not just one niche. Tests fit; it does not run the analysis.

Use when deciding which jole-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Use when polishing prose, the 100-word abstract, and the introduction for a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript — Chicago author-date references, the 20,000-word economy, and a general labor-economics audience. Polishes exposition; it does not change results or design.

Use when designing and analyzing a solution algorithm for a 《管理科学学报》 (Journal of Management Sciences in China) manuscript — giving exact / heuristic / decomposition methods with complexity analysis and, for iterative methods, convergence proofs. "It runs fast" is not analysis. Use after the model and properties are established.

Use for the behavioral operations (行为运作) path of a 《管理科学学报》 (Journal of Management Sciences in China) manuscript — designing controlled experiments, manipulation checks, and a behavioral model that identifies the bias parameter, so the contribution is a model that explains behavior, not just an effect. Optional path; use instead of pure analytical modeling when human decisions are the object.

Use to judge whether a manuscript fits 《管理科学学报》 (Journal of Management Sciences in China) — a 数理/定量 (mathematical / quantitative) management-science journal. If the deliverable is regression coefficients + policy talk, or survey-SEM, it is OFF-FIT — re-route to 管理世界 / 南开管理评论 / 金融研究. Use before drafting.

Use when deriving managerial insights for a 《管理科学学报》 (Journal of Management Sciences in China) manuscript — translating proven propositions and numerical findings into actionable decision rules tied to model parameters. Insights must follow from the model, NOT be policy slogans like "加强完善推进". Use near the end of the analytical pipeline.

Use when building the formal model for a 《管理科学学报》 (Journal of Management Sciences in China) manuscript — making decision variables, parameters, constraints, objective function, and assumptions all explicit, and justifying each assumption against the modeling goal. Use after jmsc-problem-formulation and before jmsc-proofs.

Use when unifying notation and tightening mathematical exposition for a 《管理科学学报》 (Journal of Management Sciences in China) manuscript — one symbol one meaning, explicit assumptions, rigorous statements in the body, and full proofs moved to the appendix to keep the body readable. Use as a late-stage statute pass before submission.

Use when designing the numerical / simulation study for a 《管理科学学报》 (Journal of Management Sciences in China) manuscript — validating the proven theoretical properties, testing algorithm performance, exploring parameter sensitivity, and extracting managerial insight. The study must serve the theory, not replace it. Use after jmsc-proofs and jmsc-algorithm.

Use to formalize the decision problem before model building for a 《管理科学学报》 (Journal of Management Sciences in China) manuscript — identifying the decision maker(s), decision variables, timing / information structure, uncertainty, and the objective, so the problem is well-posed. Use right after fit positioning and before jmsc-model-building.
