Use when the introduction, abstract, or prose of a Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) manuscript misses the field voice — when the environmental mechanism → welfare → policy chain is buried or the contribution does not land in the first page. Polishes the framing late; it does not establish identification or results.

# Writing Style (jeem-writing-style)

## When to trigger

- The intro reviews the literature for two pages before the reader learns what the paper does
- The abstract states a result but not the **welfare or policy stake**
- The environmental mechanism is implied but never named as the engine of the contribution
- A general-interest editor would not see, by the end of page one, why this is an environmental-economics paper

## Discipline against advocacy

Environmental topics invite moral urgency, and a JEEM paper must resist it without becoming bloodless. The line: state the market failure and the welfare loss in economic terms, let the magnitude speak, and confine normative claims to bounded policy implications the evidence supports. Words like "crisis," "devastating," or "must act now" signal advocacy and undercut credibility with referees who want the economics to do the persuading. The most effective JEEM prose is quietly consequential — a precisely identified marginal damage of $X per ton is more compelling to this audience than any adjective, because it hands the policymaker a number rather than an exhortation.
