qje-literature-positioning

separate

Use when staking a Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE) manuscript's contribution against the frontier — what it builds on, what it overturns, and why it belongs in a general-interest journal. Positions the contribution; it does not write the full literature survey.

When to use

• staking a QJE manuscript's contribution against the frontier
• positioning the contribution in the introduction
• identifying what the paper builds on and overturns
• determining why the paper belongs in a general-interest journal
• naming the frontier papers
• stating the delta
• bounding the claim

When not to use

• writing the full literature survey
• creating a standalone Literature Review section
