joe-writing-style
Use to make a Journal of Econometrics (JoE) manuscript read in house style — a precise abstract under 250 words, a contribution-first introduction, legible theorem-and-proof exposition, and Elsevier elsarticle/[dataset] reference conventions. Late-stage polish; it does not invent results.

# Writing Style (joe-writing-style)
## When to trigger
- The abstract exceeds 250 words or buries the methodological contribution
- The introduction lists what you did but never states the advance plainly
- Proofs are correct but unreadable — no roadmap, lemmas dumped without motivation
- References or math formatting do not follow Elsevier/elsarticle conventions
## JoE house style
The *Journal of Econometrics* publishes mathematically rigorous methodology, and its prose has to make rigor **legible**. Editors screen before assigning a **minimum of two referees**, so the abstract and introduction must land the contribution fast. Key house facts to write to:
- **Abstract ≤ 250 words**, concise and factual; avoid references unless essential, and if used cite author/year in the abstract.
