jfqa-literature-positioning
Use when positioning a Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) manuscript against the finance frontier — corporate finance, investments, asset pricing, market microstructure, and financial institutions. Use to stake a precise contribution against the relevant literature without a standalone survey, so the paper reads as new to a quantitative-finance audience.

# JFQA Literature Positioning (jfqa-literature-positioning)
Use this skill to locate a **JFQA** manuscript against the finance literature so the contribution is unmistakable to the reviewers and the assigned Managing Editor.
## What JFQA expects
- A **tight positioning paragraph**, not a literature-review chapter. State what is known, the specific gap, and what this paper adds.
- Engagement with the **right finance subfield** frontier — corporate finance, investments/asset pricing, microstructure, or institutions — and with the closest recent JFQA / finance-flagship work.
- Honest delineation from **near-neighbor papers**: say explicitly how your sample, design, mechanism, or result differs.
## Process
1. Identify the 5-10 closest papers in your subfield and the one or two that a referee will say "this is already done."
2. Write the contrast in one or two sentences each: what they did, what you do differently, why the difference matters economically.
