jue-theory-model

separate

Use when a Journal of Urban Economics (JUE) manuscript needs a spatial model to interpret its mechanism — a spatial-equilibrium frame, a sorting model, or a quantitative spatial model (QSM) for counterfactuals. Builds the theory that disciplines the empirics; it does not establish the identification (jue-identification) or run robustness (jue-robustness).

When to use

• interpreting reduced-form spatial results
• building spatial-equilibrium frames
• constructing sorting models
• developing quantitative spatial models for counterfactuals
• mapping empirical objects to structural parameters
• determining the appropriate level of modeling for JUE papers

When not to use

• establishing identification
• running robustness checks
