Individual skill

jebo-writing-style

Use when a Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO) manuscript's prose buries the behavioral mechanism, or the abstract and introduction do not land for a pluralist behavioral audience. Shapes the mechanism-forward narrative and Elsevier-format front matter; it does not change the analysis.

# Writing Style (jebo-writing-style)

## When to trigger

- The abstract describes what you did but not what agents *do* or *why*
- The introduction reaches the behavioral mechanism only on page 4
- The paper reads as a method demonstration, not a behavioral finding
- Prose toggles between psychology jargon and econ jargon without serving either audience
- You are formatting the abstract/keywords/JEL and unsure of JEBO's limits

## The JEBO voice: mechanism-forward, audience-plural

JEBO readers span behavioral theorists, experimentalists, organizational economists, and evolutionary modelers. The prose must make the **behavioral mechanism** the protagonist and stay legible across those communities. Lead with the human behavior and its economic consequence; introduce method as the means, not the message.
