Individual skill

jie-writing-style

Use to align prose, abstract, and structure with Journal of International Economics (JIE) house norms — the 150-word factual abstract, 1-7 keywords, balancing theory and empirics, and writing for an audience split between international trade and international macro/finance. Shapes style; it does not generate results.

# Writing Style (jie-writing-style)

## When to trigger

- Drafting or tightening the abstract, introduction, or section structure for JIE
- Your abstract runs long or leans on citations
- The paper reads as either a pure-theory or pure-empirics piece and needs balance
- Unsure how to pitch a trade or open-economy result to JIE's mixed readership

## JIE house norms

JIE serves a readership split between **international trade** and **international macroeconomics/finance**, and it publishes both **empirical and theoretical** work. Write so a reader from either half can locate your contribution in the first page: name the international-economics question (trade pattern, commercial policy, exchange rate, open-economy macro, sovereign debt, factor mobility, spatial structure), then state what is **original in your motivation or modelling structure** — JIE's gate. Avoid the general-interest "big lesson for all of economics" framing; JIE rewards a sharp field contribution, not a sweeping claim.
