jape-contribution-framing
Use when framing the headline contribution of a Journal of Applied Econometrics (JAE) manuscript — as an empirical application on real data whose results are replicable, rather than a pure-theory advance. Calibrates claims to what the data and design support and compresses into the 100-word summary.

# Contribution Framing for JAE (jape-contribution-framing)
## When to trigger
- Writing or sharpening the contribution paragraph and the 100-word summary
- Deciding how strongly to claim, given the design and the real data
- Aligning the framing with JAE's applied, replicable identity
## Frame the contribution the JAE way
JAE rewards a contribution that is an **application on real data** with **replicable** results: here is a substantive question, here is a credible empirical strategy applied to real data, here is what we find, and every number can be regenerated from the data and code we deposit. Acceptable types:
- A **new empirical finding** on an economic question via a credible design;
- A **methodological application** — adapting or stress-testing a technique on real data, with the application (not the theorem) as the contribution;
