jpube-contribution-framing

separate

Use when the contribution of a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) manuscript needs sharpening — what the paper teaches about the economic role of government, why it matters for policy, and how it advances public-finance theory or evidence. Frames the contribution; it does not survey the literature (use jpube-literature-positioning) or run analysis.

When to use

• stating the contribution in one sentence
• mapping estimates to welfare or optimal policy
• naming counterfactual policy reforms
• quantifying stakes in revenue or welfare terms
• framing empirical or theoretical contributions

When not to use

• surveying the literature
• running analysis
