aejmic-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a microeconomics project fits the American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) rather than JET, GEB, Theoretical Economics, Econometrica, or AEJ: Applied. Tests scope and broad-interest fit; it does not develop the model (see aejmic-theory-model).

When to use

• deciding if a project fits AEJ: Micro
• testing scope and broad-interest fit
• choosing between AEJ: Micro and specialist theory journals
• choosing between AEJ: Micro and applied venues
• evaluating if a model carries a broad-interest economic message
• checking sibling boundaries for venue selection

When not to use

• developing the model
• creating a new solution concept
• developing a new estimator
• conducting empirical analysis without central theoretical result
