What it does

Jeg Data Analysis is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building or auditing Journal of Economic Growth (JEG) empirical estimates, calibrated growth models, transition paths, cross-country and subnational panels, historical datasets, spatial (Conley) inference, robustness, and reproducibility for growth and comparative-development manuscripts.

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 Data & Analytics, covering Data analysis and Reproducible research. 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 Journal of Economic Growth (JEG) empirical estimates
  • Calibrated growth models
  • Transition paths
  • Cross-country and subnational panels

Example prompts

  • “/jeg-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

Jeg Data Analysis loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 663 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
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 building or auditing Journal of Economic Growth (JEG) empirical estimates, calibrated growth models, transition paths, cross-country and subnational panels, historical datasets, spatial (Conley) inference, robustness, and reproducibility for growth and comparative-development manuscripts.

Data Analysis (jeg-data-analysis)

When to trigger

  • You are estimating cross-country, panel, historical, or regional growth models
  • A theory paper includes calibration, simulation, or transition dynamics
  • Results need robustness, decomposition, or sensitivity checks for JEG

Empirical growth checklist

  • Define the growth outcome: level, growth rate, convergence speed, productivity, human capital, fertility, technology, institutions, or development outcome.
  • Document the unit and horizon: country-year, region-decade, cohort, household, firm, or historical panel.
  • Separate long-run levels from short-run growth dynamics.
  • Show sample construction, merge rules, missingness, and influential observations.
  • Use specifications that match the question: convergence regressions, panel FE, IV, DID/RDD around reforms, synthetic controls, or structural estimates.

Theory / calibration checklist

  • State calibrated parameters, data moments, and source for each moment.
  • Separate targeted from untargeted moments.
  • Report transition paths and steady states clearly.
  • Stress-test key elasticities, discount rates, depreciation, fertility, human capital, and technology parameters.
  • Make code reproducible enough to regenerate figures and tables.

Growth-mechanism audit table

Before drafting results, create a table with:

  • Mechanism: human capital, fertility, technology, institutions, trade, finance, migration, or OLG channel.
  • Object: growth rate, income level, TFP, convergence speed, transition path, or welfare.
  • Discipline: data moment, calibration target, theorem assumption, or identification source.
  • Main sensitivity: parameter or sample choice most likely to overturn the result.
  • Replication artifact: code or file that regenerates the exhibit.

If an estimate or simulation does not map to a mechanism row, it is probably not central enough for JEG.

Spatial and historical inference discipline

Comparative-development empirics at JEG are usually geocoded, which changes the inference defaults:

  • Report Conley standard errors at multiple distance cutoffs (e.g., 100/250/500 km) for any gridded or regional outcome; clustered SEs at the modern administrative level are necessary but not sufficient.
  • When historical units do not coincide with modern ones, cluster at the historical unit — the level at which the treatment was assigned — and document the crosswalk.
  • Pre-empt the critique that persistence t-statistics can be inflated by smooth spatial trends: include flexible geographic controls (latitude-longitude polynomials or macro-region fixed effects) plus a spatial-noise placebo test.
  • For very long panels, keep measurement vintages separate: reconstructed pre-1950 series, modern national accounts, and nighttime lights are not interchangeable; show the result within each vintage where feasible.

Worked vignette — auditing a comparative-development panel

Illustrative setup: 2,400 grid cells in 41 countries; outcome is log light density in 2020; regressor is distance to a historical trade hub; candidate instrument is least-cost-path placement.

  • Unit/horizon: cell-level cross-section answering a long-run level question, so convergence-dynamics machinery is unnecessary; the persistence design applies.
  • Inference: coefficient 0.21; country-clustered SE 0.05, Conley 250 km SE 0.08, Conley 500 km SE 0.09 — report all three; the claim survives the widest cutoff.
  • Mechanism row: schooling in 1960 absorbs roughly 40% of the coefficient (illustrative), so human capital becomes a lead exhibit, not a robustness afterthought.
  • Main sensitivity: dropping cells within 50 km of modern capitals moves the estimate to 0.17; capital proximity goes into the audit table as the result's weakest joint.

Estimator defaults by growth question

  • Long-run level question (deep determinants, persistence) → cross-sectional or grid design + Conley inference + mechanism decomposition.
  • Convergence-speed question → panel estimation alert to Nickell bias; system GMM only with instrument-count discipline and Hansen/AR(2) reporting.
  • Reform-timing question → modern staggered-adoption DID estimators with pre-trend evidence, never naive TWFE.
  • Theory-driven quantitative question → calibrated model with targeted and untargeted moments kept visibly separate.
  • Demographic or fertility question → cohort or census microdata aggregated to the mechanism's unit; verify the transition timing is identified by the data rather than assumed by the specification.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Run the battery, don't just enumerate it. Full map: execution-with-mcp. JEG (growth) uses cross-country and long-run panels with deep endogeneity; foreground identification and robustness to alternatives.

  • 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.
