jde-contribution-framing

separate

Use when sharpening the development-economics takeaway of a Journal of Development Economics (JDE) manuscript — the explicit "what this teaches about development" claim that an editor and referees can restate in one sentence. Frames the contribution; it is not a writing-polish pass.

When to use

• sharpening the development-economics takeaway
• framing the contribution
• translating effects into policy-relevant units
• stating scope and external validity
• answering what was not known before
• identifying the development mechanism
• expressing magnitudes in welfare-relevant terms
• comparing against sibling journals

When not to use

• writing-polish pass
• formatting advice
• submission-ready advice without checking official source map
