finman-identification

separate

Use when the causal or economic credibility of a Financial Management (FM) result is the bottleneck — endogenous corporate policy choices, staggered-event designs, weak instruments, or a "correlation dressed as a channel." Stress-tests the identification to FM's applied-finance bar before exhibits are finalized.

When to use

• Endogenous corporate policy choices
• Staggered-event designs
• Weak instruments
• Correlation dressed as a channel
• Difference-in-differences with staggered adoption
• Asset pricing return predictability
• Mechanism or channel claims
• Corporate-finance event or regulation designs

When not to use

• Tasks where the causal or economic credibility of an FM result is not the bottleneck
