jleo-literature-positioning
Use when staking a Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization (JLEO) manuscript's contribution against the new-institutional / positive-political-economy frontier — locating it relative to Williamson/North/Weingast and to sibling journals. Sharpens the contribution claim; it does not write the literature review prose.

# Literature Positioning (jleo-literature-positioning)
## When to trigger
- A referee or coauthor says "what is new here relative to the existing institutional-economics literature?"
- The paper cites the canon (Williamson, Coase, Hart–Moore, North–Weingast) but does not say where it sits among them
- The contribution reads as "first to study X in setting Y" rather than a conceptual advance
- The literature review is a list of papers, not a map with the paper's coordinates marked
- You are unsure whether the relevant frontier is the TCE/firm-theory literature or the PPE/institutions literature
## How to position at JLEO
