jole-literature-positioning

separate

Use when positioning a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) manuscript against the labor literature — staking the contribution against the closest papers under Chicago author-date citation norms, not writing a standalone survey. Positions the paper; it does not run analysis.

When to use

• Positioning a JOLE manuscript against labor literature
• Staking contribution against closest papers
• Correcting Chicago author-date citation style
• Ordering in-text citations chronologically then alphabetically
• Identifying the gap in existing literature
• Connecting paper to adjacent labor subfields
• Rebutting 'this has been done' concerns

When not to use

• Writing a standalone survey
• Running analysis
• Blinding self-citations
• Padding literature to look thorough
