# QE Workflow Router (qe-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It tells you **which qe-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at *Quantitative Economics* (QE) — the empirically and computationally oriented general-interest journal of the **Econometric Society**, the sister of *Econometrica* (more theoretical/methodological) and *Theoretical Economics* (pure theory). QE rewards papers that **develop or apply quantitative methods to substantive economic questions** — empirical, structural/computational, experimental, or simulation-based — with **documented data and reproducible code**.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as QE. Operational tells that you are at QE and not a sibling or a generic top journal: **Econometric Society membership is required to submit** (at least one author a member); there is a **submission fee** (US$100 regular / US$50 student); the manuscript must be **posted publicly during review**; the **ES Data Editor** runs a pre-acceptance reproducibility check (DCAS-compatible, not the JAE archive); QE is **Open Access (CC BY-NC)** with a post-proof publication fee based on production cost per page. Wiley product metadata checked on 2026-06-20 lists **Bernard Salanié** as editor. Re-verify volatile specifics on the official ES and Wiley pages.

## When to trigger

- The user asks "what should I do next?"
- A draft needs its current bottleneck diagnosed
- Work is ping-ponging between data/estimation, framing, writing, and the response letter
- A QE decision letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode
