What it does
Aejmic Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a microeconomics project fits the American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) rather than JET, GEB, Theoretical Economics, Econometrica, or AEJ: Applied. Tests scope and broad-interest fit; it does not develop the model (see aejmic-theory-model).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
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.

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
Aejmic Topic Selection loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 551 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- aejmic-topic-selection
- description
- Use when deciding whether a microeconomics project fits the American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) rather than JET, GEB, Theoretical Economics, Econometrica, or AEJ: Applied. Tests scope and broad-interest fit; it does not develop the model (see aejmic-theory-model).
Topic Selection & Scope Fit (aejmic-topic-selection)
When to trigger
- The project could plausibly go to AEJ: Micro, a specialist theory journal, or an applied/empirical venue, and you must choose
- The question feels narrow, technical, or of interest only to a sub-sub-field
- A reviewer or colleague asked "is this really an AEJ: Micro paper?"
- You have a clever model but are unsure it carries a broad-interest economic message
The AEJ: Micro fit gate
AEJ: Micro is the AEA's quarterly journal for microeconomic theory and its applications, founded 2009. It is theory-first but values broad microeconomic interest delivered through the AEA editorial process. The fit question is two-pronged: (1) is the contribution a theory contribution (a model, result, characterization, or theory-grounded experiment)? and (2) is the result broadly interesting to micro economists, not only to specialists in one technique?
In scope
- Game theory, mechanism and market design, matching, auctions and contests
- Contract theory, information economics, Bayesian persuasion / information design
- Industrial-organization theory (and structural IO where the theory is the point)
- Decision theory, behavioral theory, and theory-grounded experiments
- Political economy / networks when the contribution is a micro-theoretic result
Sibling boundaries — route elsewhere if
- JET / GEB: specialist theory prizing maximal generality or a technical advance with narrower audience → those venues; AEJ: Micro wants broader micro interest + AEA process.
- Theoretical Economics / Econometrica: more abstract or methodological (a new solution concept, an estimator, deep foundations) → those venues.
- AEJ: Applied: the contribution is an empirical applied-micro finding with no central theoretical result → AEJ: Applied (a sibling AEJ).
- A pure econometric-method paper → Econometrica / QE / a metrics journal.
Decision table
| Your contribution is primarily… | Likely best home |
|---|---|
| A clean, broadly interesting micro-theory result | AEJ: Micro |
| A maximally general or highly technical theory advance | JET / GEB |
| A new solution concept / methodological foundation | Theoretical Economics / Econometrica |
| An empirical applied-micro finding | AEJ: Applied |
| A theory-grounded experiment testing a model | AEJ: Micro (or a field/experimental venue) |
| A structural IO paper where the model delivers the insight | AEJ: Micro (or QE / a field journal) |

Checklist
- The central contribution is a theory result (or a theory-grounded experiment), not just an empirical finding
- The result is interesting to a broad micro audience, statable in one sentence
- Checked the four sibling boundaries (JET/GEB, TE/Econometrica, AEJ: Applied, metrics) and can say why AEJ: Micro
- The question motivates the model (not a model in search of a question)
- JEL codes that match the contribution are identifiable (required at submission)
Anti-patterns
- A "model in search of a question" — technique first, economics absent
- Maximal generality with a narrow audience (a JET/GEB paper mis-aimed at AEJ: Micro)
- An empirical paper with a token model bolted on, sent to AEJ: Micro instead of AEJ: Applied
- Pitching a new estimator or solution concept here rather than to a methods/foundations venue
- Assuming "microeconomics" in the title is the fit test — the theory-first + broad-interest gate is
Worked vignette (illustrative)
A draft characterizes optimal disclosure in a two-seller search market and also tests one comparative static in a lab experiment. Is it AEJ: Micro? Yes if the characterization is the contribution and the experiment is supporting evidence — that is theory-first with broad IO/information interest. It drifts to a field journal if the experiment becomes the headline and the model is decorative, and toward JET if the authors chase maximal generality at the cost of the economic message.
