Use when revising the prose, abstract, and introduction of a Journal of the European Economic Association (JEEA) manuscript so the idea lands for a general-interest readership. Shapes how the argument reads; it does not change the result, identification, or exhibits.

# Writing Style (jeea-writing-style)
## When to trigger
- The abstract or intro buries the question and the answer
- A general-interest reader cannot tell what the paper establishes by the end of page one
- The intro leads with machinery (the estimator or the model's solver) instead of the question
- Prose is correct but the lesson does not travel
## The JEEA writing bar
JEEA is **general interest**, so the writing must make **both the substantive question and the result legible early** to an economist outside the subfield. The introduction arc that works: **question → why it is hard (clean identification needed, or a disciplined model) → approach → headline result with its uncertainty → mechanism → contribution & lesson → brief roadmap.** Two house rules: the **headline estimate appears early with units and a standard error / confidence set, never a significance asterisk**, and the **abstract is short and answer-first** (state the finding, not just the topic). This is a late-stage polish — write the intro **last**, after identification, the model, and robustness have settled.
