rof-identification-strategy

separate

Use when the credibility core of a Review of Finance (RoF) manuscript is the bottleneck — causal identification for empirical finance (DID, IV, RDD, event study, natural experiments) OR assumptions, results, and proof exposition for theoretical finance. Stress-tests the design or model to the top-three-finance-journal standard.

When to use

• causal identification for empirical finance
• assumptions, results, and proof exposition for theoretical finance
• DID, IV, RDD, event study, natural experiments
• panel regressions with controls and an undefended causal claim
• staggered timing without modern estimators
• weak first stage or unargued exclusion restriction
• theoretical finance weak link in assumptions or generality
