# WBER Workflow Router (wber-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It tells you **which wber-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at *The World Bank Economic Review* (WBER) — the **rigorous empirical development-economics** journal published by **Oxford University Press for the World Bank** (founded 1986, quarterly). WBER prizes two things at once: **credible identification** AND **clear development-policy relevance** for a World Bank / policymaker audience. A paper that nails one and ignores the other is the classic WBER misfire.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as WBER. Operational tells that you are at WBER and not a sibling: the journal **requires public release of all data and code as a condition of publication** (it is, by repute, the only development *field* journal that does this routinely); review is **single-anonymized** (referees blind, author names on the title page); there is a **40-page total cap** including everything; and WBER welcomes **short-format policy-relevant papers** alongside full articles. Editors as of 2026: **Eric Edmonds and Nina Pavcnik (Dartmouth)** (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Re-verify volatile specifics on the OUP WBER pages.

## When to trigger

- The user asks "what should I do next?" on a development-economics manuscript
- A draft's binding constraint (fit, identification, policy framing, exhibits, package) is unclear
- Work is ping-ponging between design, framing, evidence, and the response letter
- A WBER decision letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode
