# Identification Strategy (jhr-identification-strategy)

## When to trigger

- The paper makes a causal claim
- Referees could say selection, omitted variables, or policy timing drives the result
- You need a reconciliation and sensitivity plan before submission

## Design checks

- **RCT**: attrition, balance, compliance, spillovers, pre-analysis plan, multiple
  testing, cluster level.
- **DID / event study**: timing, controls, pre-trends, treatment heterogeneity,
  anticipation, modern estimators where needed.
