jpube-topic-selection

separate

Use when assessing whether a research question fits the Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) — the economic role of government (taxation, public expenditure, social insurance, redistribution, externalities, public goods, fiscal policy) — and whether the policy stakes clear the bar for an international readership. Scopes the question; it does not run the analysis.

When to use

• Assessing if a research question fits JPubE
• Evaluating the government-role angle of a question
• Choosing between general-interest and public-finance framing
• Deciding between JPubE and generalist or specialty journals
• Scoring manuscript venue fit and novelty
• Comparing against sibling journals like JDE, JIE, or AEJ Economic Policy

When not to use

• Running the analysis
• Providing submission-ready advice before checking official source maps
• Polishing format when a sibling venue owns the contribution
