jeg-identification-strategy
Use when the inferential backbone of a Journal of Economic Growth (JEG) manuscript needs stress-testing — empirical papers via causal/econometric identification for growth, theory papers via assumptions, results, proof exposition, and generality. Forks by paper type, as a specialist growth and dynamic-macroeconomics outlet requires.

# Identification & Argument Strategy (jeg-identification-strategy)
## When to trigger
- An empirical growth claim rests on a cross-country regression with endogenous regressors
- A theoretical result depends on an assumption you have not justified or tested for tightness
- You are unsure whether your inferential backbone clears a growth-specialist bar
JEG publishes both theory and empirics, so this skill has **two tracks**. Pick the one matching your paper; quantitative/calibrated papers use both.
## Track E — Empirical identification (causal design for growth)
Growth empirics carry a hard endogeneity problem: most candidate determinants (institutions, human capital, finance, openness) are co-determined with income. The bar:
