jegeo-topic-selectionA skill your agent uses when choosing or sharpening the research question for a Journal of Economic Geography (JEG) manuscript so it genuinely bridges geographical economics and human geography.
Jegeo Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when choosing or sharpening the research question for a Journal of Economic Geography (JEG) manuscript so it genuinely bridges geographical economics and human geography. Tests two-community fit and scope; it does not invent evidence or citations.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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 Hypothesis generation and 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.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Jegeo Topic Selection loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,084 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.
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.

.claude/skills/jegeo-topic-selection/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).JEG's defining constraint is that it serves geographical economics (formal/quantitative NEG and quantitative-spatial models) AND proper economic geography (institutional, evolutionary, qualitative human geography), with an editorial board drawn roughly equally from both. The fastest way to lose at JEG is to write a paper only one community can love. Before anything else, force the question through both lenses:
A JEG topic passes when both answers are yes. If only the economist's lens lights up, the paper drifts to JUE/RSUE; if only the geographer's lens does, it drifts to Economic Geography or Regional Studies.
| Topic family | What makes it a JEG question | Where it slips out of scope |
|---|---|---|
| Agglomeration / clusters | spatial externality measured at a defensible scale, with a mechanism | becomes a pure firm-productivity paper (JUE) |
| Regional development / divergence | why places diverge, with institutions or path dependence | becomes macro growth with no geography |
| Place-based policy | spatial treatment + spillovers to untreated places | becomes a generic program evaluation |
| Innovation / knowledge spillovers | geography of knowledge flow (patents, mobility, networks) | becomes innovation econ with space as a control |
| Trade & GVCs in space | how the geography of production reshapes regions | becomes international trade (JIE) |
| Evolutionary / institutional EG | branching, relatedness, lock-in, regional resilience | becomes a descriptive case with no generalizable claim |
Run a candidate topic through these before committing data effort:
A topic that survives all three is rare and worth the investment; one that fails any of them should be reframed now, not after the empirics are built.
A team has firm-level data showing that startups near universities grow faster, and plans to send it to JEG "because it is about location." Run the two-lens test. Economist's lens: the mechanism (university knowledge spillover) is real and learnable, but the design is "near = dummy," so it currently reads as applied micro with a spatial control — drifting to JUE. Geographer's lens: place is not yet constitutive; nothing about the spatial structure of the knowledge (distance decay, network ties, regional absorptive capacity) is in the question. The topic becomes a JEG question only when reframed so geography does work: how does the spatial reach of university knowledge depend on regional institutional thickness, and at what scale does the spillover die? Now both lenses light up, and the unit (commuting zone, with distance rings) is chosen for a substantive reason.
| JEG actively rewards | Drifts to a sibling |
|---|---|
| agglomeration economies measured with a defended scale and mechanism | firm-productivity estimation with a city dummy (JUE) |
| place-based policy with cross-region spillovers | a generic program evaluation that happens to have regions |
| the geography of knowledge flows (mobility, patents, networks) | innovation economics with space as a control |
| how trade/GVCs reshape the location of activity within regions | aggregate bilateral trade flows (JIE) |
| evolutionary/institutional accounts with a claim that travels | a single-region descriptive narrative (Regional Studies) |
| quantitative-spatial models with a told economic-geography story | spatial-econometric machinery with no interpretation (RSUE) |
Use this as a fit screen before you commit: if your one-line topic lands in the right column, reframe so geography and mechanism do real work, or send it to the sibling it actually fits.

Jegeo Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when choosing or sharpening the research question for a Journal of Economic Geography (JEG) manuscript so it genuinely bridges geographical economics and human geography.
Jegeo Topic Selection fits situations like: tasks that involve Hypothesis generation; tasks that involve Citation management.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jegeo-topic-selection -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (Journal-of-Economic-Geography-Skills/skills/jegeo-topic-selection in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .claude/skills/jegeo-topic-selection in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Jegeo Topic Selection is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Jegeo Topic Selection is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
