ectj-literature-positioning
Use when positioning a The Econometrics Journal (EctJ) paper against econometric theory, applied econometrics, statistics, and machine-learning literatures while keeping the leading-case contribution compact under the roughly 20-page RES format, including the frontier-versus-use citation split.

# EctJ Literature Positioning
Use this to make the novelty legible to econometricians and applied users. At EctJ,
positioning is differentiation, not a survey: the journal rewards a leading-case,
path-breaking contribution under a hard limit of about 20 pages including the printed
appendix, so a sprawling related-work section is both off-fit and a budget leak. Place the
paper at a precise seam in the methodological frontier and show that seam matters in
applications.
## Positioning checks
- Identify the closest econometric object: estimator, test, identifying restriction,
asymptotic regime, design, inference problem, or computational procedure.
- Separate the paper from exhaustive-method papers: EctJ can reward a sharp leading case,
