ier-identification

separate

Use when the identification argument is the bottleneck for an International Economic Review (IER) manuscript — structural parameter identification, empirical causal identification, or for a theory result, what makes it tightly pinned. Stress-tests the data-to-object mapping to IER's rigor bar; it does not run the estimation.

When to use

• structural parameter identification
• empirical causal identification
• theory result tightness
• data-to-object mapping
• sensitivity matrix analysis
• distinguishing calibration from estimation
• identified set characterization

When not to use

• running the estimation
• tightness craft for theory models
• robustness range analysis
