jeem-identification
Use when the identification argument is the bottleneck for a Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) manuscript — an environmental-policy causal design, a climate/weather IV, or a revealed- or stated-preference valuation. Stress-tests the data-to-welfare mapping before exhibits are finalized; it does not invent evidence or citations.

# Identification Strategy (jeem-identification)
## When to trigger
- A regulation/permit-market effect rests on TWFE with staggered adoption, or on OLS + controls
- A hedonic or travel-cost estimate could be confounded by **spatial sorting** or omitted amenities
- A stated-preference WTP could be contaminated by hypothetical bias, scope insensitivity, or yea-saying
- A weather/pollution IV's exclusion restriction or its adaptation interpretation is challenged
- You are unsure the design recovers a **welfare-relevant** parameter, not just a reduced-form effect
## The JEEM identification bar
JEEM identification is judged on two axes at once: the **causal/preference-recovery argument** must be credible, *and* the recovered object must be **welfare-relevant** — a marginal damage, a WTP, a pass-through, an abatement cost. Environmental data carry field-specific threats (spatial dependence, sorting, monitoring-station selection, weather endogeneity through adaptation) that generic applied-micro referees miss but JEEM referees will not. Pick the branch and make the mapping from data to the welfare object explicit.
