jme-literature-positioning
Use when positioning a Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) manuscript against the monetary-economics and macroeconomics frontier — staking the contribution against monetary-policy, business-cycle, DSGE, intermediation, and expectations literatures without writing a standalone survey.

# Literature Positioning (jme-literature-positioning)
## When to trigger
- The contribution relative to prior monetary/macro work is fuzzy or oversold
- Reviewers might say "this is already known" or "this is a known DSGE result"
- The related-work section reads as a survey instead of a stake in the ground
- You are unsure which strands (policy transmission, frictions, expectations) you build on and beat
## How JME referees read the literature
JME draws on overlapping macro literatures: **monetary-policy transmission** (the interest-rate, credit, and risk-taking channels), **New Keynesian / DSGE** modeling, **financial intermediation and frictions** (Bernanke–Gertler–Gilchrist-style accelerators, Gertler–Kiyotaki banking), **business cycles and growth**, **fiscal–monetary interactions**, and **expectations / information** (rational, sticky, and behavioral). With **single anonymized review** (referees know who you are) and a **minimum of two reviewers**, you should assume your referees are specialists in exactly the strand you extend — so cite the immediate frontier precisely and do not paper over the closest competitor.
Because JME enforces a **40-page** limit on accepted papers, the literature discussion must be lean: place the contribution in two or three sentences, not a multi-page tour. Journal titles in the reference list are **spelled out in full** (not abbreviated), references are **author-date**, and the reference list sits **after appendices but before tables and figures** — so positioning lives in the prose, not in a long bibliography.
