aeri-writing-style

Use when revising an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) short-format manuscript to lead with the result, fit the hard word cap (7,000 words minus 200 per exhibit), and write the ≤100-word abstract. Enforces the length budget and the lead-with-the-result arc; it does not change the analysis.

# Writing Style — Lead With the Result, Fit the Cap (aeri-writing-style)

## When to trigger

- The intro buries the headline result under setup, literature, or methods
- The draft is over the word cap and needs cutting, not just polishing
- The abstract exceeds 100 words or does not state the result
- Late-stage polish once identification, robustness, and exhibits have settled

## The two hard constraints (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准)

- **Word cap:** main text **≤7,000 words with no exhibits; each exhibit subtracts 200 words; ≤5 exhibits** (so ≥6,000 at the cap). The count includes body, footnotes, endnotes, and in-paper appendices; it **excludes** title, authors, abstract, acknowledgement footnote, references, exhibits, and the Supplemental Appendix. **Over the cap = returned unreviewed.**
- **Abstract: ≤100 words.** It must state the result, not promise it.
