ecopol-identification

separate

Use when the identification argument is the bottleneck for an Economic Policy (EP) manuscript — causal identification of a policy effect, or parameter identification in a quantitative policy model. Stress-tests it to the EP bar (credible to an academic discussant, legible to a policy discussant) before exhibits are finalized.

When to use

• causal identification of a policy effect
• parameter identification in a quantitative policy model
• stress-testing identification to the EP bar
• designing empirical causal strategies
• defending structural model parameters
• translating design for policy readers

When not to use

• finalizing exhibits
• tasks where identification is not the bottleneck
