Individual skill

jimf-writing-style

Use when the prose, intro, abstract, or Highlights of a Journal of International Money and Finance (JIMF) manuscript do not land for an international-finance audience. Sharpens the writing and front matter; it does not change the result or the design.

# Writing Style (jimf-writing-style)

## When to trigger

- The intro buries the international mechanism and the contribution under a literature tour
- The abstract is over 250 words, vague, or does not state the headline number
- Highlights and keywords are missing or generic (required for Elsevier submission)
- The prose reads like a domestic-finance paper with international words sprinkled in
- A policy reader (central bank / IMF / BIS) cannot extract the takeaway in one read

## The JIMF voice

JIMF prose is **empirical, direct, and policy-aware**. It is not the model-first register of the theory journals nor the corporate-finance register of JFE; it is open-economy macro-finance written for an audience that includes both academics and policy economists. Lead with the international question and the answer; make the mechanism a noun the reader can hold (pass-through, spillover, push factor, the trilemma); and quantify the headline early. Write the abstract and intro last, after the design and robustness settle.
