jpe-identification

separate

Use when the empirical identification strategy is the bottleneck for a Journal of Political Economy (JPE) manuscript — quasi-experimental designs (DID, IV, RDD, event study) or structural estimation. Stress-tests the design and its economic interpretation before drafting tables; it does not write the model from scratch (see jpe-theory-model).

When to use

• quasi-experimental designs (DID, IV, RDD, event study)
• structural estimation
• stress-testing design and economic interpretation
• diagnosing staggered DID heterogeneity-bias
• defending IV exclusion arguments
• pinning down economic interpretation of causal effects

When not to use

• writing the model from scratch
