Use when targeting Journal of Applied Econometrics (JAE) or deciding whether an applied-econometric manuscript that brings methods to a substantive economic question fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Journal of Applied Econometrics (journal-of-applied-econometrics)
## Journal positioning
JAE is a leading outlet for applied econometrics — econometric methods brought to bear on substantive economic questions, with a strong tradition of data-rich, replicable empirical work. It maintains a data archive, and replicability is part of its identity. It rewards papers that either apply existing methods in a careful, illuminating way or develop a method that is demonstrably useful in a real application; it is methods-in-application, not pure econometric theory. The readership is applied econometricians, so both the method and the empirical payoff must be convincing.
This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the journal/Wiley site and the editorial submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names JAE as the target venue, or wants a home for a methods-in-application empirical paper.
- A paper develops or applies an econometric method and the empirical application is central.
- A data-rich empirical paper needs re-framing so the econometric method and its application are foregrounded.
- The author needs JAE's desk-reject risks and a credible applied-econometrics alternative list.
