jae-topic-selection

separate

Use when choosing or sharpening a research question for the Journal of Accounting and Economics (JAE) — testing economics-based fit, distinguishing JAE from JAR/TAR/RAST, and ensuring the question is about accounting's economic role rather than a normative or behavioral puzzle.

When to use

• Choosing a research question for JAE
• Sharpening a research question for JAE
• Testing economics-based fit
• Distinguishing JAE from JAR, TAR, RAST, or finance journals
• Reframing normative questions into positive ones
• Stress-testing a topic before submission

When not to use

• Normative or behavioral puzzles
• Design-science artifacts
• Practitioner how-to pieces
• Pure asset-pricing questions with little accounting content
