Use when deciding which jbes-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing methods-paper work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

# JBES Workflow Router (jbes-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you **which jbes-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at the *Journal of Business & Economic Statistics*.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as JBES — a methodological econometrics-and-statistics journal published by **Taylor & Francis on behalf of the American Statistical Association (ASA)**. JBES's defining demand is **methods-with-empirics**: a new or improved statistical/econometric method (machine-learning and data-science adaptations and computational improvements explicitly welcomed) that has **clear empirical relevance** and usually a **substantive empirical application**. Pure theory without empirical motivation, or pure applications without methodological novelty, are off-scope. The journal runs on a **rotating Joint Editor model with no single Editor-in-Chief**; current Joint Editors are **Yingying Fan**, **Michael Kolesár**, and **Dacheng Xiu** per the official T&F search snippet. Submission-only details still require opening the live T&F author instructions.

## When to trigger

- The user asks "what should I do next?" on a methods manuscript
- The user hands over a draft and needs the current bottleneck diagnosed
- Work is ping-ponging between theory, simulations, the application, and writing
- A JBES decision letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode
