Use when applying the house writing style for a Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) manuscript — precise quantitative finance prose, the strict ≤100-word one-paragraph abstract, and the prescriptive 8.5x11 / 1-inch / 12-pt Times New Roman double-spaced layout submitted as a text-searchable PDF.

# JFQA Writing Style (jfqa-writing-style)
Use this skill to bring a **JFQA** draft up to house style. JFQA is a quantitative finance journal; the prose should be precise, economical, and result-forward.
## Voice and structure
- Write for a **finance audience** — assume fluency in asset pricing and corporate finance, but state the economic intuition behind every result.
- Lead each section with its point; report **economic magnitudes** in plain finance units (bps, monthly alpha, percentage of a SD).
- Avoid over-claiming: conclusions must not exceed what the design supports.
- Keep the paper from drifting over-long — JFQA discourages excessive length and may desk-reject it.
## The abstract and formatting (JFQA-specific, enforced)
- **Abstract**: one paragraph, **no more than 100 words** (see jfqa-contribution-framing). This is a hard cap; trim ruthlessly.
