red-topic-selection
Use when testing whether a research question fits the Review of Economic Dynamics (RED) — a journal whose scope is defined by method and lens (dynamic, quantitative economics) rather than subfield. Helps decide if the paper studies a genuinely dynamic mechanism through a dynamic model, and whether it belongs at RED versus a generalist or a specialist outlet.

# Topic Selection for RED (red-topic-selection)
## When to trigger
- Deciding whether a paper is "a RED paper" before investing in it
- A dynamic-macro idea that could also go to a general-interest or a field journal
- Worried the question is too static, too purely empirical, or too applied-micro for RED's lens
## What RED actually wants
RED publishes meritorious original contributions to **dynamic economics**, and its scope is set by
**method/lens, not subfield**. In-scope work studies a mechanism through a **dynamic model** — and that
model may be **theoretical, computational, or empirical**:
