What it does

Ectj Data Analysis is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing or auditing The Econometrics Journal (EctJ) Monte Carlo simulations, empirical applications, estimator comparisons, robustness checks, computation, seeds, and applied-value evidence.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Econometrics and empirical research and Data analysis. 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

  • Auditing The Econometrics Journal (EctJ) Monte Carlo simulations
  • Empirical applications
  • Estimator comparisons
  • Robustness checks

Example prompts

  • “/ectj-data-analysis”

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

Ectj Data Analysis loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 686 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

description
Use when designing or auditing The Econometrics Journal (EctJ) Monte Carlo simulations, empirical applications, estimator comparisons, robustness checks, computation, seeds, and applied-value evidence.

EctJ Data Analysis

Use this when the method has to prove both statistical behavior and empirical usefulness.

Analysis checks

  • Keep Monte Carlo evidence focused. RES guidance asks that simulation results be summarized compactly in the main text; use the supplement for details.
  • Include an empirical application that demonstrates applied value, even for theory-heavy work.
  • Align simulations with the assumptions and failure modes from the theory section.
  • Compare against credible econometric alternatives, not only simplified baselines.
  • Report sample sizes, data-generating processes, tuning, seeds, software versions, runtime, and convergence or failure diagnostics.
  • Show where the new procedure changes an applied conclusion, uncertainty interval, test decision, or policy-relevant estimate.

Minimum evidence map

Before drafting results, create a one-page map with these rows:

  • Theory target: theorem, proposition, approximation, or diagnostic the simulation is meant to stress.
  • DGP grid: the smallest parameter grid that probes the boundary cases, not every imaginable design.
  • Competitors: incumbent estimator/test plus at least one strong practical alternative.
  • Failure diagnostics: convergence failures, non-positive matrices, weak identification, bandwidth/tuning sensitivity, or coverage breakdowns.
  • Application payoff: the single empirical decision that changes because the method exists.

The main text should report only the rows that teach the reader why the method works and when it fails. Full grids belong in the supplement or replication package.

Reproducibility ledger

Track every reported number in a ledger:

Manuscript itemScriptSeed/configOutput pathRuntime
Table/Figure X............

Use the ledger to decide what must be in the main replication path and what can remain optional.

Theory-to-simulation contract

EctJ referees read Monte Carlo sections as tests of the theory, and RES guidance caps the main-text simulation summary near one page, so every theoretical claim needs exactly one matching finite-sample exhibit:

Theoretical claimRequired Monte Carlo evidenceTypical display
Asymptotic normalityCoverage of nominal 95% intervals across nCoverage row per sample size
Size control of a testNull rejection rates near 5% at the relevant boundarySize table with nominal level in header
Local power gainPower against the incumbent under drifting alternativesOne power figure
Rate or bias reductionBias and RMSE relative to the strongest competitorCompact bias/RMSE panel
Tuning robustnessBehavior across bandwidth or penalty choices used in practiceSupplement grid, one-line main-text summary

A theorem with no matching row invites the classic EctJ objection that the asymptotics carry no finite-sample evidence; a simulation with no matching theorem is decoration to cut.

Anchoring the DGP in the application

The other classic objection is a simulation design detached from the empirical illustration. Fix it by calibration (illustrative numbers): if the application is a firm panel with N=180, T=12, and residual serial correlation around 0.6, the core DGP should be N=200, T=12 with AR(1) errors at rho in {0, 0.3, 0.6}, not an i.i.d. cross-section with n=10,000. State in the simulation preamble which DGP parameters were estimated from the application data and which probe theoretical boundaries. One calibrated design plus one boundary design beats six arbitrary grids at this venue, and the pairing lets the empirical section reuse the simulation's vocabulary when it explains why the new procedure changes the applied conclusion.

Computation reporting floor

  • State replication counts and justify them (illustrative floor: 1,000 draws for size claims, more when coverage is pushed to the third digit).
  • Report wall-clock runtime for the main simulation and the application on stated hardware; the EctJ replication policy makes these numbers checkable after conditional acceptance.
  • Log convergence failures per design cell and the handling rule (drop, restart, flag); silent drops change rejection rates, and referees at this venue know it.
  • Name the software stack and versions in the simulation note, matching the replication README.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Run the battery, don't just enumerate it. Full map: execution-with-mcp. The Econometrics Journal is a methods venue — estimator validity + simulation; pair estimates with diagnostics.

  • Many outcomes / specifications: romano_wolf (step-down FWER) or benjamini_hochberg.
  • OVB sensitivity: oster_delta / sensemakr.
  • Inference: wild_cluster_bootstrap (few clusters), twoway_cluster / conley.
  • Re-fit off one handle: audit_result(result_id) lists missing checks + the exact suggest_function for each.
  • Exhibits: etable / did_summary_to_latex from the handle — no retyped numbers.

Decisive checks in the body, exhaustive battery in the appendix. JF execution walkthrough.
