separate

Use when the contribution of an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript relative to the macro frontier is fuzzy, contested, or undersold. Frames the marginal contribution against quantitative-theory and identified-empirical literatures; it does not fix the identification or the model itself.

When to use

• Framing marginal contribution against macro frontier
• Positioning against quantitative-theory frontier
• Positioning against identified-empirical frontier
• Clarifying hybrid model and evidence contributions
• Stating contribution with quantity or mechanism
• Calibrating claims to avoid over-claiming

When not to use

• Fixing identification
• Fixing the model itself
