# IER Workflow Router (ier-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It tells you **which ier-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at the *International Economic Review* (IER) — the broad, rigor-leaning general-interest journal founded in **1960** "to provide a forum for modern quantitative economics," owned by the **Economics Department of the University of Pennsylvania** together with the **Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER), Osaka University**, and published with Wiley. "International" names the Penn–Osaka partnership (and the Klein Lectures it hosts), not a field restriction: IER covers **economic theory, econometrics, quantitative/structural macro, and applied micro**, with a pronounced **theory/structural tilt** and a premium on methodological rigor, generality, and a clean model-to-evidence link.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as IER. Operational tells that you are at IER and not a sibling: submission runs through **Editorial Express** (editorialexpress.com/ier), not ScholarOne/Manuscript Central (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准); there is a **flat US$150 / ¥15,000 submission fee** and the paper is not reviewed until it is paid; the manuscript ceiling is **≤50 pages, double-spaced**; the journal adopted the **AER data availability policy effective Jan 1, 2022**. Editor names and exact figures are volatile — re-verify on the official Penn/Wiley pages (待核实).

## When to trigger

- The user asks "what should I do next?" on an IER-bound draft
- A draft needs its current bottleneck diagnosed
- Work is ping-ponging between theory/model, identification, evidence, exhibits, and the response letter
- An IER decision letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode
