# Writing Style (jhr-writing-style)

## When to trigger

- The manuscript is too long for the 40-page limit
- The policy lesson or identification strategy is buried
- Results paragraphs report coefficients without interpretation

## Style principles

- State the empirical-micro question in the first page.
- Make the identifying variation visible before literature detail.
- Translate coefficients into policy-relevant magnitudes.
- Reconcile with prior work explicitly.
