What it does
Ecopol Theory Model is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building or tightening the conceptual frame or quantitative model that disciplines an Economic Policy (EP) manuscript's policy logic. Keeps the model minimal-but-honest and legible to a policy audience; it does not invent evidence or citations.
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.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management. 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
Ecopol Theory Model loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 589 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.

Theory and Model Craft (ecopol-theory-model)
When to trigger
- The empirical results need a model to map estimates into a welfare or policy-cost statement
- A quantitative/structural model runs the counterfactual policy but its mechanism is opaque to a non-specialist
- The model is more elaborate than the policy question requires (a discussant will ask "why all this machinery?")
- The counterfactual policy scenario is computed but the policymaker cannot see which assumption drives the headline number
- Reviewers/discussants want the welfare interpretation, not just reduced-form effects
EP's model standard: minimal, transparent, policy-bearing
EP is not a theory journal. A model earns its place only if it does policy work: it converts estimates into welfare, fiscal cost, or distributional statements; it disciplines a counterfactual policy; or it clarifies a mechanism that the reduced form cannot. The house style is accessible, so the model in the main text should be the smallest model that carries the policy conclusion, with derivations and extensions in the technical appendix. Two tests every EP model must pass:
- The transparency test. Can a policymaker see which assumption produces the headline number, and how the number moves if that assumption changes? If the model is a black box, the policy discussant will not trust the recommendation.
- The necessity test. Remove the model — does the policy claim survive? If yes, the model is decoration; cut it to the appendix. If no, the model is the contribution and must be defended.
Decision table: how much model does this paper need?
| The paper's job | Model role | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Estimate a causal policy effect, no welfare claim | none / a one-equation framing | main text, a paragraph |
| Turn effects into welfare or fiscal cost | a small sufficient-statistic / accounting model | main text, few equations; derivation in appendix |
| Simulate a not-yet-enacted reform | a calibrated/estimated structural model | mechanism in main text, full model in appendix |
| Explain a surprising mechanism | a stylized model isolating the channel | main text, deliberately minimal |

Craft moves
- Lead with the mechanism in words, then formalize. The policy reader should grasp the channel before seeing a single equation.
- Expose the key elasticity / sufficient statistic. EP readers want to know "the answer depends mostly on parameter θ, which we estimate / take from the literature as X." Make θ visible and its source explicit.
- Show the counterfactual's sensitivity to the one or two assumptions that matter, in the main text — this is what a policymaker actually needs.
- Calibration discipline: every calibrated parameter gets a source and a sensitivity range; "standard values" without citation invites a discussant takedown.
- Welfare framing: state whose welfare, under what social objective, and what is omitted (distributional incidence, GE feedback, political constraints).
Checklist
- The model passes the necessity test — without it the policy claim would not hold
- The mechanism is stated in plain words before formalization
- The key elasticity / sufficient statistic is named, sourced, and its value justified
- Counterfactual policy sensitivity to the one or two driving assumptions is shown in the main text
- Every calibrated parameter has a source and a sensitivity range
- Welfare/cost claims state whose welfare, the objective, and what is omitted
- Heavy derivations are in the technical appendix, not crowding the main text
Anti-patterns
- A general-equilibrium apparatus where a one-line sufficient-statistic argument would do — over-modeling for a policy audience
- A black-box structural model whose headline number the reader cannot trace to an assumption
- "Standard calibration" with no citations and no sensitivity range
- A welfare statement that hides the distributional incidence a policymaker most cares about
- Model derivations dominating the main text and burying the policy message
