What it does
Expecon Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a question is a method-defined fit for an Experimental Economics (ExpEcon) manuscript and which treatment contrast to build it around. Frames the fit decision; it does not invent results or citations.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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.

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

Runs code

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
Expecon Topic Selection loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 958 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.

Topic Selection (expecon-topic-selection)
When to trigger
- You have an interesting economic question but are unsure an experiment is the right tool — or whether this journal is the right home for it
- The draft reads topic-first ("a paper about charitable giving") rather than method-first ("a design that isolates warm-glow from social-image motives")
- You must decide before collecting data whether to pre-register, run a Registered Report, or pursue a replication
- The paper could plausibly land at JEBO, GEB, AEJ: Micro, or JESA and you need to pick deliberately
The fit decision: method first, topic second
Experimental Economics is the ESA method flagship. The editors do not ask "is this topic important?" so much as "is this the cleanest experiment that could answer this question, and does the design itself teach the field something?" Three questions decide fit:
- Is the object causal and behavioral? The unit of contribution is a treatment effect produced by experimental control, not an observed correlation or a calibrated structural object. If your answer lives in field-survey data, you are at an applied journal, not here.
- Is the design the contribution, or merely a delivery vehicle? Papers that win at ExpEcon either (a) build a novel, decisive treatment contrast that prior work could not run, or (b) advance the methodology of experimentation (a better elicitation, a control that removes a confound, evidence on how a procedure biases results). A standard dictator game with a new label rarely clears the bar.
- Can it pass the two gates from day one? Real salient incentives and the no-deception norm are not editorial preferences; they are entry conditions. If the question can only be answered by deceiving subjects or with hypothetical stakes, redesign or send it elsewhere.
Choosing the treatment contrast (this is where the paper is won)
The center of an ExpEcon paper is the minimal pair: two conditions identical except for the one thing your hypothesis is about. Spend your design budget here.
- Strip the contrast to a single manipulated dimension; a treatment that changes payoffs and framing and matching identifies nothing.
- Pre-commit to the primary outcome and primary comparison in a pre-analysis plan (AEA RCT Registry / OSF / AsPredicted). For high-stakes or surprising claims, consider a Registered Report: in-principle acceptance before data collection insulates a clean null from publication bias and is increasingly welcomed in the ESA ecosystem (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
- Decide matching (partner vs. stranger), information, and one-shot vs. repeated now — these are identification choices, not implementation details.
Sibling boundary — pick the right home deliberately
| Venue | What it rewards | Send there instead when… |
|---|---|---|
| JEBO | broad behavioral/organizational questions, method-agnostic | the topic, not the design, is the contribution; you need deception |
| GEB | game-theoretic theory | the experiment merely illustrates a theorem |
| AEJ: Micro | applied micro where an experiment supports a wider claim | the headline is an economic phenomenon, the experiment one leg |
| JESA | short-format ESA work: replications, null results, software, comments | the paper is a brief note, not a full design paper |
Deciding the experiment type (it changes everything downstream)
The same question can be a lab, lab-in-the-field, or field experiment, and the choice fixes your later bottlenecks:
| Type | Buys you | Costs you | Choose when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lab | maximal control, clean minimal pairs, cheap iteration | external validity questions (often student pool) | the mechanism needs tight control to isolate |
| Lab-in-the-field | a relevant population with much control retained | recruitment/logistics, some control loss | the population is the point (farmers, traders, CEOs) |
| Field | behavior in situ, strong external validity | partial control, attrition, often costlier | the real-world stakes are the contribution |
Lab control is your comparative advantage at this journal; do not give it up unless the population or the in-situ behavior is the contribution.

Checklist
- The contribution is stated as a treatment effect / design advance, not a topic
- The minimal-pair contrast manipulates exactly one dimension
- Both gates clear at the idea stage: salient incentives feasible; no deception required
- Pre-registration / Registered Report / replication status decided before data collection
- A one-line reason this belongs at ExpEcon and not JEBO/GEB/AEJ: Micro/JESA
- Primary outcome and primary comparison named before any results exist
- Experiment type (lab / lab-in-field / field) chosen for a stated reason
The "could you publish a clean null?" test
A useful litmus for ExpEcon fit: imagine your treatment effect comes out exactly zero. Is the paper still publishable? If yes — because the design is decisive, the hypotheses were pre-registered, and a null adjudicates between behavioral models — you have a true method-defined contribution. If a null would be unpublishable because the paper rests entirely on getting a "surprising positive," you are leaning on the result, not the design, and you risk a publication-bias incentive to p-hack. The flagship (and especially the Registered Report track) values designs whose answer matters either way. Build the question so the null is informative.
Anti-patterns
- A "topic paper" with an experiment bolted on, where the design teaches nothing new
- A treatment that varies several things at once, so no single effect is identified
- Discovering only after data collection that the design needed deception to work
- Choosing the journal by impact factor rather than by method fit
- Treating a brief replication or software note as a full ExpEcon design paper (that is JESA)
Worked vignette (illustrative)
A team has "a paper on whether social media reduces cooperation." Topic-first, and unidentifiable as stated. Reframing method-first: design a repeated public-goods game where one treatment injects a between-round "feed" of (real, not fabricated — gate!) peer messages and the control does not. Now the contribution is a treatment effect of peer messaging on contributions, the minimal pair manipulates only the feed, incentives are real, no deception is needed (messages are genuine), and a pre-registered primary comparison (mean contribution, Feed vs. NoFeed, at the matching-group level) exists before any data. The vague topic became a clean ExpEcon design.
