Use when crafting a proposal to the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) editors — a short article proposal or a symposium pitch — since JEP is largely invited and editor-organized. Builds the pitch and its contents; it does not write the full article or run the final submission preflight.

# Proposal & Symposium Pitch (jep-proposal-and-symposium)

## When to trigger

- You have a JEP-fit topic (`jep-topic-selection`) and need to approach the editors
- You are tempted to write a full unsolicited manuscript (don't — pitch first)
- You want to propose a *symposium* (a themed cluster of articles)
- An editor invited "a short proposal" and you need to know what goes in it

## Why a proposal, not a manuscript

JEP articles are **primarily solicited by the editorial team**, and even unsolicited ideas should enter as a **2–5 page proposal**, not a finished paper (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Historically only about **10–15%** of published articles originate as unsolicited proposals, so the proposal is the real competition — it must convince the editors that a *broad, accessible, balanced* article exists here and that *you* can write it. Send proposals and papers as Word or PDF email attachments to **jep@aeapubs.org** (re-confirm the address on the official page).
