jeg-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a project is a first-order economic-growth question that fits the Journal of Economic Growth (JEG) — a specialist Springer Nature outlet for growth and dynamic macroeconomics, not a general-interest journal. Screens scope, ambition, and theory/empirics fit before writing.

When to use

• Deciding if a project fits JEG
• Screening scope and ambition for growth papers
• Evaluating theory or empirics fit for dynamic macroeconomics
• Triage of borderline-fit projects
• Stress-testing deep-determinants ideas

When not to use

• General-interest top-5 journal submissions
• Labor, finance, or IO papers touching GDP incidentally
• Short-run partial-equilibrium studies without growth mechanisms
• Marginal parameterization of known steady states
