jfi-identification-strategy
Use when auditing the core analytical engine of a Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) paper — for empirics, the causal design that separates credit supply from demand in banking data; for theory, the assumptions, equilibrium discipline, and proof exposition. It pressure-tests the design; it does not run the analysis.

# Identification Strategy (jfi-identification-strategy)
## When to trigger
- Setting up or defending the empirical design of a banking/intermediation paper
- Setting up or defending the assumptions and propositions of a theory paper
## Empirical track (applied banking / credit)
JFI referees are unforgiving on identification in bank data. Build a credible **causal design** and defend
it:
- **Source of variation:** a regulatory change, supervisory shock, branching deregulation, a discontinuity
in capital/eligibility rules, or a plausibly exogenous credit-supply shifter.
