It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Performance reviews. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The quantitative model is the bottleneck for an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript — DSGE
  • Heterogeneous-agent (HANK / Aiyagari-Bewley)
  • Structural estimation — and calibration
  • Parameter identification

Example prompts

  • “/aejmac-theory-model”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Aejmac Theory Model loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 642 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Quantitative Theory & Model Discipline (aejmac-theory-model)

When to trigger

  • Parameters are calibrated or estimated but it is unclear what disciplines each one
  • A DSGE/HANK model is solved but the solution method / accuracy is unstated
  • A counterfactual or welfare number is reported with no validity argument (Lucas critique)
  • Untargeted moments are never shown, so the model's fit is asserted not demonstrated
  • You are unsure the model clears AEJ: Macro's quantitative-discipline bar

The AEJ: Macro model bar

AEJ: Macro welcomes quantitative-theoretical macro, but the standard is discipline, not decoration: a calibration or structural estimate must be tied to data, the solution must be accurate enough for the claim, and the counterfactual must be defensible. The model exists to deliver a broad-interest macro quantity (a multiplier, a welfare cost, a share of inequality, a propagation magnitude), not to display machinery.

Discipline paths

Path A: Calibration discipline
  • Source every parameter. Externally calibrated (cited micro/macro estimates) vs. internally calibrated (matched to targeted moments) — label each and give the target.
  • Targeted moments table. Show data vs. model on the moments you matched.
  • Untargeted-moment validation. Show the model matches moments it was not asked to match — this is the credibility payoff for calibration.
  • Sensitivity. Report how the headline quantity moves with the key parameters (and which moment moves which parameter).
Path B: Structural estimation discipline
  • Name what identifies each parameter — the data feature / moment, not "the likelihood." Report a sensitivity / informativeness measure (e.g., a sensitivity matrix) so readers see which data move which parameter.
  • Estimator stated (MLE / GMM / SMM / indirect inference / Bayesian) with priors (if Bayesian), starting values, tolerances, and multi-start evidence of a global enough optimum.
  • Monte Carlo recovery: simulated data return the true parameters.
Path C: Solution accuracy & numerics
  • State the solution method (perturbation order, projection, value-function iteration, sequence-space Jacobian for HANK) and why it suffices for the nonlinearity/size of shock studied.
  • For occasionally-binding constraints (ZLB, borrowing limits) or large shocks, justify global vs. local methods.
  • Report accuracy diagnostics (Euler-equation errors, grid/refinement checks) where the claim depends on accuracy.
  • Set and report seeds for any simulation.
Path D: Counterfactual & welfare validity
  • Argue the estimated/calibrated parameters are policy-invariant enough for the counterfactual (Lucas critique); show they are not functions of the policy you change.
  • State the welfare metric (consumption-equivalent, etc.) and carry uncertainty into the counterfactual quantity.
  • For HANK: be explicit about the distributional channel and the role of the MPC distribution / liquidity.
Show full SKILL.md (246 more words)Show less

Checklist

  • Every parameter labeled external vs. internal, with its source/target
  • Targeted-moment fit shown; untargeted-moment validation shown
  • Structural: each parameter tied to identifying moments; sensitivity + Monte Carlo recovery
  • Solution method named and justified for the nonlinearity/shock size; accuracy diagnostics where needed
  • Seeds reported; numerics reproducible for the AEA Data Editor (simulation code counts)
  • Counterfactual: policy-invariance argued; welfare metric stated with uncertainty
  • The model delivers one memorable, broad-interest macro quantity

Anti-patterns

  • "We calibrate to standard values" with no targets and no sensitivity
  • Reporting targeted-moment fit only, never untargeted moments (fit asserted, not validated)
  • A first-order perturbation used to study a large nonlinear shock (ZLB, big crisis) without justification
  • A welfare/counterfactual number with no policy-invariance argument
  • Treating estimation convergence as identification ("the optimizer found a minimum")
  • A model with rich machinery but no headline macro quantity a general reader remembers

Worked vignette: disciplining a HANK fiscal multiplier (illustrative)

A HANK model reports a fiscal multiplier of 1.3. A referee asks what disciplines it. The AEJ: Macro answer ties the multiplier to the MPC distribution: the model is calibrated to match the empirical distribution of MPCs (targeted), and then matches the untargeted share of hand-to-mouth households and the consumption response to a transfer from independent micro evidence. A sensitivity check shows the multiplier moves from 1.1 to 1.5 as the liquid-wealth target varies over its empirical range — making visible that the multiplier is governed by liquidity, not a free parameter. Solution by sequence-space Jacobian; Euler-error diagnostics reported (illustrative).

Output format

【Model type】NK-DSGE / HANK / Aiyagari-Bewley / structural-estimation
【Headline quantity】... (with units)
【Parameter discipline】external vs. internal; targeted + untargeted moments
【Identification (structural)】moment ↔ parameter; sensitivity; MC recovery
【Numerics】solution method + why it suffices; accuracy diagnostics; seeds
【Counterfactual validity】policy-invariance + welfare metric + uncertainty
【Next step】aejmac-robustness
