jet-contribution-framing

Use when framing the contribution of a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) paper so its theoretical advance is unmistakable — lead with the theorem, state why the result matters for the relevant theory, and right-size the claim to exactly what the proof delivers. For JET's theory-first bar; it does not overclaim.

# Contribution Framing (jet-contribution-framing)

## When to trigger

- Writing the abstract and introduction of a JET theory paper
- A desk editor must see the theoretical contribution within the first page
- You need to make sure the claim does not exceed the proof

## What JET rewards

JET accepts a paper because it is a **rigorous, original theoretical contribution**. Framing must put
the **theorem first** and make its significance legible to the matching editor and two expert
referees. A JET introduction is not a story arc around data — it is a precise statement of *what is now
known that was not before*.
