Use when extensions, edge cases, or applied robustness checks are missing for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — covering theory extensions (relaxed assumptions, alternative concepts, perturbations) and applied/experimental robustness. Decides which extensions earn their place; it does not prove the main result (see aejmic-theory-model).

# Robustness, Extensions & Edge Cases (aejmic-robustness)

## When to trigger

- The main result is proved but referees will ask "does it survive [relaxation]?"
- You have many possible extensions and must decide which belong in the paper
- A knife-edge or boundary case is unaddressed
- (Applied) The empirical/experimental result needs a robustness battery

## What robustness means at AEJ: Micro

For a theory paper, robustness is about the **mechanism's reach**: which relaxations preserve the result, which break it, and which boundary cases need care. AEJ: Micro values knowing the *edges* of a result as much as the result. For structural/experimental work, it is the standard robustness battery. The discipline is the same: every extension must earn its place — it either **broadens the contribution** or **defends a load-bearing assumption** flagged in `aejmic-identification`.
