aeri-identification

separate

Use when the identification argument is the bottleneck for an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) short-format manuscript — causal identification in an empirical design, parameter identification in a structural model, or treatment-effect identification in an experiment. Stress-tests the strategy so it is clean enough to defend in a few pages, before exhibits are finalized.

When to use

• causal identification in an empirical design
• parameter identification in a structural model
• treatment-effect identification in an experiment
• stress-testing identification strategy for short-format manuscripts
• DiD / event study identification
• RDD identification
• IV identification
• new fact / measurement identification

When not to use

• finalizing exhibits
• rescuing a weak design with pages of robustness
