ecta-topic-selection

separate

Use when judging whether a result is general, deep, and method-driven enough to belong in Econometrica, and when sharpening the contribution statement. Diagnoses fit and frames the contribution — it does not write proofs (use ecta-theory-model) or position against the literature (use ecta-literature-positioning).

When to use

• judging whether a result is general, deep, and method-driven enough to belong in Econometrica
• sharpening the contribution statement
• diagnosing fit
• framing the contribution
• pressure-testing the result for generality
• classifying paper type for Econometrica fit

When not to use

• writing proofs
• positioning against the literature
