ectheory-identification-strategy
Use when the assumptions, regularity conditions, and asymptotic results are the bottleneck for an Econometric Theory (ET) theorem-proof paper — adapt "identification" to mean stating defensible assumptions, proving the limit theory, and establishing generality, not causal design.

# Assumptions, Results & Proof Plan (ectheory-identification-strategy)
## When to trigger
- The estimator/test is stated but the **regularity conditions** under which it works are not pinned down
- A proof has a gap, or an assumption is doing suspicious load-bearing work
- You need to decide what limit theory applies (stationary vs nonstationary, fixed vs growing dimension)
- You are unsure your result clears ET's rigor bar before drafting theorems
## The ET rigor bar (theory journal — adapt "identification" accordingly)
At ET the analogue of an "identification strategy" is a **complete, defensible assumption set plus a
correct, general proof**. The most common ET referee objection is an unstated or implausibly strong
regularity condition. Treat the assumption-result-proof triple as the spine:
