Use when revising prose for a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript — the abstract, introduction arc, research highlights, and Elsevier house conventions. Makes the general-interest idea land; it does not establish identification, theory, or exhibits.

# Writing Style (eer-writing-style)
## When to trigger
- The introduction buries the question under data or machinery
- The abstract is a method recital, not a result a generalist can grasp
- Research highlights, keywords, or JEL codes are missing or weak
- The prose reads as field-internal and loses the general-interest reader
## The EER writing bar
EER is **general-interest**, so the writing must make a **non-specialist economist** see the question, the answer, and why it matters — fast — while satisfying specialists on rigor. Elsevier economics house elements: a **structured/concise abstract**, **research highlights** (a few bullet points capturing the core findings), **JEL codes** and **keywords**, a **declaration of interest**, and SEs reported in the text rather than significance-star prose. The introduction must execute a clear arc and the **headline result with its uncertainty** should appear early.
