Use when pitching a survey to the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) editor before writing it — the ~10-page proposal route, the pre-proposal email, and understanding the commissioning process. Builds the proposal; it does not write the survey or run the AEA portal preflight (jel-submission).

# Proposal & Commissioning (jel-proposal-and-commissioning)

## When to trigger

- The topic passed `jel-topic-selection` and you are ready to approach JEL
- You want to know whether to email the editor first, and what a proposal contains
- You are unsure whether JEL is invitation-only (it is not exclusively — proposals and full papers are also considered)
- You are weighing the proposal route vs. submitting a full draft

## How JEL intake actually works (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准)

JEL articles are frequently **commissioned/invited**, but the journal also **considers unsolicited proposals and full papers**. The official guidance (AEA JEL submission page, accessed 2026-06) describes a **proposal-first** route:

- **Pre-proposal email (optional but efficient).** Authors who are unsure of fit may **email the editor to ask about potential interest** before formally submitting. Use this to test scope and avoid wasted effort. (Editor contact and address are volatile — confirm on the AEA JEL page; the listed editorial email as of 2026-06 was `d.romer@aeapubs.org`, 以官网为准.)
