red-contribution-framing

separate

Use when framing the marginal contribution of a Review of Economic Dynamics (RED) manuscript — stating the quantitative or dynamic advance in terms the SED readership values (a new mechanism, a new method, a new quantitative result, or model-disciplining evidence) and aligning the abstract and introduction around it.

When to use

• Distilling 'what is new' before drafting the abstract and introduction
• Framing papers with several results but no clear single advance
• Translating a technical contribution for the SED audience
• Framing new mechanisms, methods, quantitative results, or model-disciplining evidence
• Running a contribution stress test
• Drafting a contribution statement block
• Addressing referee pushback on contribution claims

When not to use

• Literature positioning
• Identification strategy
