jape-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a project fits the Journal of Applied Econometrics (JAE) — an applied (not pure-theory) journal publishing empirical, replicable work that applies or develops econometric techniques on real data. Tests scope fit, the replicability requirement, and the Research vs. Replication Article tracks before you commit.

When to use

• Choosing where to send an empirical or method-application paper
• Weighing JAE for applied econometrics
• Assessing if an idea is applied enough for JAE
• Deciding between Research Article and Replication Article tracks
• Evaluating replicability and data deposit feasibility
• Scoring candidates against JAE fit gates

When not to use

• Purely theoretical contributions without real-data application
• Pure Monte Carlo comparisons without empirical anchor
• Projects with data that cannot be shared or described for access
