Individual skill
jeg-contribution-framing
Use when articulating the marginal contribution of a manuscript to the Journal of Economic Growth (JEG) — sharpening what the paper adds to economic-growth knowledge, calibrated to a specialist Springer Nature theory-and-empirics outlet. Turns "a paper about X" into "the first result that Y."

# Contribution Framing (jeg-contribution-framing)
## When to trigger
- The introduction explains what you did but not why it matters for growth
- You cannot state the contribution in one sentence without hedging
- A co-author asks "what's the one thing a reader remembers?"
## The JEG contribution bar
JEG is a specialist outlet, so the contribution must be a genuine advance **in understanding growth or dynamic-macro dynamics**, not a technique demonstration or a within-field estimate that mentions growth. The journal values both:
- **Theoretical contributions** — a new mechanism, a more general result, a unification of mechanisms, a resolution of a tension in existing growth models, or a tractable model that delivers a sharp, testable growth prediction.
- **Empirical contributions** — credible evidence on a growth-relevant causal channel, a new long-run or cross-country dataset that resolves a measurement gap, or a test that discriminates between competing growth theories.
