Use when positioning a Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) manuscript against the monetary-economics and macroeconomics frontier — staking the contribution against monetary-policy, business-cycle, DSGE, intermediation, and expectations literatures without writing a standalone survey.

When to use

• Positioning JME manuscripts against monetary-policy, business-cycle, DSGE, intermediation, and expectations literatures
• Clarifying fuzzy or oversold contributions relative to prior work
• Pre-empting 'already known' objections from reviewers
• Distinguishing empirical vs. theoretical contributions
• Building a three-column map of incumbent conversation, unresolved tension, and manuscript delta
• Comparing against sibling venues like JIE, RED, and AEJ Macro
• Ensuring literature discussion is lean for the 40-page limit

When not to use

• Writing a standalone survey
• Polishing format before checking official source maps
• Giving submission-ready advice before checking volatile rules
