Use when positioning a manuscript within the economic-growth literature for the Journal of Economic Growth (JEG) — placing it across the theory and empirics divide that defines this specialist Springer Nature outlet. Builds the related-work spine and the marginal-step argument.

# Literature Positioning (jeg-literature-positioning)
## When to trigger
- The introduction lists papers but does not say where yours sits or what it adds
- A referee might ask "how is this different from the standard endogenous-growth / unified-growth account?"
- You are unsure which strands of the growth literature you must engage
## Why JEG positioning is distinctive
JEG runs both theory and empirics in growth, so a paper must be located on **two axes at once**: (1) the substantive growth strand (neoclassical, endogenous, unified, institutions, human capital, fertility, trade, finance, migration), and (2) the methodological mode (formal theory, cross-country/panel empirics, calibrated quantitative model). Reviewers are growth specialists; vague gestures at "the growth literature" will not satisfy them.
## Build the spine
