# REStud Workflow (restud-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill — it tells you which one to use next, and in what order.

Default assumption: unless the user names a different venue, the manuscript targets **The Review of Economic Studies (REStud)** — a top-5 general-interest journal (OUP, for the Review of Economic Studies Ltd; founded **1933** to advance **theoretical and applied** economics equally, especially by younger economists). REStud prizes a *clean, original contribution* — a new model, a new identification strategy, or a striking new empirical fact — presented rigorously and economically. It is not a finance-only stack, not a theory-only stack, and not a working-paper repository.

## REStud-specific anchors (carry these through every stage)

- **Identity:** founded 1933, theory and applied weighted equally; home of the **REStud Tour** (former May Meetings, annual since 1989) for promising young economists — calibrate ambition to that bar.
- **Submission:** **Editorial Express** portal, **USD 250 fee** (reduced **USD 150** if every author is a student / within 6 years of PhD / in a low-or-middle-income economy; rate effective 1 June 2026), **double-anonymous** review, **Harvard author-date** references, JEL codes, **~45-page** limit; editors desk-reject ~20–23% before refereeing.
- **Replication:** the **Data Editor (Miklós Koren)** runs an **AEA DCAS** pre-publication reproducibility check; packages deposit at **Zenodo**.
- **Editors (2026):** Joint Managing Editors include Jan De Loecker, Antonio Penta, Jakub Steiner (verify the full current roster).
