Use when sharpening a contribution for The Econometrics Journal (EctJ) into a compact leading-case claim with demonstrated applied value, covering the failure mode of incumbent methods, the smallest sharp advance, the applied payoff, and scope guardrails that survive the one-week RES desk screen.

# EctJ Contribution Framing

Use this after the method and application are known but before final writing. EctJ seeks
original contributions of direct or potential value in applications, and explicitly favors
path-breaking, leading-case work over exhaustive treatment. Because the Editor-in-Chief
screens conforming papers within about one week and desk-rejects with little comment, the
contribution must be legible fast: the summary (no more than 150 words) and opening pages
have to make the advance and its applied payoff obvious on a single read.

## Framing checks

- Lead with the econometric problem and why existing methods fail in an applied setting.
- State the leading-case advance: new identification logic, estimator, test, approximation,
  inference method, or computation.
