Use when the contribution of a Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) manuscript relative to the environmental-economics frontier and its sibling journals is fuzzy or undersold. Stakes the claim against the field; it does not invent evidence or citations.

# Literature Positioning (jeem-literature-positioning)

## When to trigger

- A referee or coauthor says "we already know this" or "how is this different from [field paper]?"
- The intro reviews the environmental literature but never states what is *new* about this paper
- The paper could be read as a near-replication of a known hedonic / DiD / valuation study
- You must show the marginal contribution to environmental economics, not to applied micro in general

## What "contribution" means at JEEM

JEEM referees are environmental and resource economists; they read the literature you are extending and they reward a contribution that is **environmental-economic**, not merely methodological or empirical-on-a-green-dataset. A clean DiD on a new policy is not automatically a contribution — the question is whether it moves the field's understanding of an **externality, a regulatory instrument, a resource margin, or a nonmarket value**. State the contribution as one of these:

- **A policy parameter the field needs** — a new estimate of a marginal damage, an abatement-cost elasticity, a permit-market pass-through, a compliance cost, a resource-rent dissipation.
