jfe-literature-positioning

separate

Use when the related-work section of a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) manuscript reads like a list and the marginal contribution relative to the top-3 finance frontier is not sharp. Builds the positioning argument; it does not assess identification or design.

When to use

• Organizing related work by debate or strand
• Locating the closest 3-5 papers
• Making differentiation concrete
• Engaging the theory being tested or motivated
• Pre-empting the 'already known' objection

When not to use

• Assessing identification
• Assessing design
