# Literature Positioning for JAE (jae-literature-positioning)
## When to trigger
- Your intro says "no one has studied X" (gap-spotting) rather than naming a conversation
- You are unsure which JAE literature stream your paper joins
- A reviewer says the framing ignores the canonical economics-based work
- You cite accounting descriptively but not the underlying economic theory
## Join an economics-based conversation, do not spot a gap
JAE papers earn their place by advancing an ongoing **economics-based** conversation, not by filling an empty cell in a 2x2. Identify which stream you join and what tension you resolve:
- **Capital-markets / information content**: the value-relevance and information-content tradition (Ball & Brown; Beaver; post-earnings-announcement drift; the disclosure-and-cost-of-capital literature).
