aejmac-writing-style
Use when revising prose, the abstract, or the introduction of an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript for AEA house style and the broad-interest macro arc. Late-stage polish on framing and clarity; it does not fix identification, the model, or exhibits.

# Writing Style (aejmac-writing-style)
## When to trigger
- The introduction leads with the model block or the estimator, not the macro question
- The abstract is over 100 words or buries the headline quantity
- A general macroeconomist cannot tell from page 1 what is measured and why it matters
- The prose is technically correct but the idea does not land
## The AEJ: Macro writing bar
AEJ: Macro is **broad-interest**, so the writing must make the macro question and the headline quantity legible to a *general* macroeconomist early — before the DSGE notation or the SVAR machinery. Follow **AEA house style** (active voice, plain prose, quantities with units, standard errors / bands reported). The hard constraint to design around: the **abstract is ≤100 words** (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准) — far tighter than most economics journals — so every word in it must earn its place.
