ectheory-data-analysis
Use for the Monte Carlo and numerical-illustration component of an Econometric Theory (ET) paper — designing simulations that show finite-sample behavior tracks the asymptotics, plus any illustrative empirical example. Lighter than empirical journals; the spine stays the theory.

# Numerical Illustration & Monte Carlo (ectheory-data-analysis)
## When to trigger
- Your theorem is proved and you need simulations showing it bites in finite samples
- Reviewers will ask whether the asymptotic approximation is accurate at realistic n
- You include an illustrative empirical application and want it to serve the theory, not the reverse
- The simulation design feels arbitrary and you need principled choices
## Role of "data analysis" at a theory journal
ET is theorem-proof first; numerical work is **evidence that the asymptotics are useful**, not the
contribution itself. Two distinct, optional components:
