jf-literature-positioning
Use when the introduction and related-work sections of a The Journal of Finance (JF) manuscript fail to state a crisp marginal contribution against the finance literature. Positions the paper; it does not survey it.

# Literature Positioning & Contribution (jf-literature-positioning)
## When to trigger
- The related-work section is a chronological list ("X (2015) finds… Y (2018) finds…")
- A reader cannot tell in one paragraph what is new relative to the closest papers
- The intro cites broadly but never names the 3–5 papers it actually builds on / departs from
- A referee is likely to say "this is already in [well-known paper]"
## JF norm: position, do not survey
JF introductions are short and lead with the question and finding. The literature is woven into the **contribution paragraph(s)**, not parked in a standalone "Literature Review" chapter. A general-interest AFA reader should leave the introduction knowing the question, the answer, the magnitude, and exactly how it differs from the closest work.
## Engage JF's own canon
