jel-classification-system
Use when assigning JEL classification codes to a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) survey and relating the survey to the JEL code taxonomy that the journal itself maintains. Explains and applies the codes correctly; it does not write prose (jel-writing-style) or run the submission preflight (jel-submission).

# JEL Classification System (jel-classification-system)
## When to trigger
- The survey is drafted and you must assign JEL classification codes for submission
- You are unsure how many codes, at what level, or in what order to list them
- You want the survey's *scope* to map cleanly onto the JEL taxonomy a reader uses to find it
- You are reasoning about which JEL category the field you are surveying actually sits in
## What the JEL classification system is (and why JEL owns it)
The **JEL classification system** is the American Economic Association's subject taxonomy for economics, *maintained by the Journal of Economic Literature itself* and used across EconLit and most economics journals. A survey for JEL therefore has a dual relationship with the codes: it must be **indexed** by them like any paper, and — because JEL is the system's steward — a well-scoped survey often *corresponds to* one or a small set of categories that define its field.
