separate

Use when the model setup, equilibrium concept, or proof architecture is the bottleneck for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — the central skill for a theory-first paper. Builds the model to the AEJ: Micro bar (clean, general, well-motivated result); it does not check whether your theorem is correct.

When to use

• model setup
• equilibrium concept
• proof architecture
• theory-first paper
• AEJ: Micro manuscript
• primitives pinning down
• generality vs tractability decisions
• proof strategy selection

When not to use

• checking whether a theorem is correct
• identification analysis
• robustness checks
• empirical analysis
