aejmic-literature-positioning

separate

Use when the contribution of an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript is fuzzy or oversold relative to the closest existing results. Stakes the theorem-relative delta against the nearest theory; it does not build the model (see aejmic-theory-model) or frame the prose (see aejmic-writing-style).

When to use

• Positioning theory results
• Identifying the closest existing result
• Classifying the delta
• Right-sizing the claim
• Mapping the neighborhood
• Sibling-literature discipline
• Acknowledging independent and contemporaneous work

When not to use

• Building the model
• Framing the prose
• Positioning against empirical applied-micro papers
