jet-identification-strategy

separate

Use when hardening the assumptions, results, and proof architecture of a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) paper — the theory analogue of an identification strategy. Make every assumption explicit and load-bearing, architect the proof so two expert referees can verify it, and defend the generality/tractability trade-off; for JET, "identification" means assumption sets and proof exposition, not a causal design.

When to use

• hardening assumptions, results, and proof architecture
• making assumptions explicit and load-bearing
• architecting proofs for expert verification
• defending generality/tractability trade-off
• addressing necessity of assumptions with counterexamples
• structuring proof spines with lemmas and roadmaps
• separating maintained structure, economic assumptions, and technical regularity

When not to use

• causal design identification
• data design identification
