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

Jle Literature Positioning loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,179 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~2.3k

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 the marginal contribution of a The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) manuscript is fuzzy or undersold and must be staked precisely against prior law-and-economics work. Positions the contribution; it does not fix the identification (jle-identification) or the prose (jle-writing-style).

Literature Positioning (jle-literature-positioning)

When to trigger

  • A referee or co-author asks "what is new here relative to [the closest law-and-economics paper]?"
  • The introduction cites Coase, Becker, Stigler, and Posner as scenery but never states the marginal addition
  • You are unsure whether your contribution is a new answer, a new legal source of variation, a new institution/jurisdiction, a new mechanism, or a new measure of a legal object
  • The paper risks reading as a re-run of a classic JLE result with newer data

The JLE contribution bar

At JLE the contribution is judged as a credibly identified (or rigorously modeled) answer to a law-and-economics question the field has not settled, positioned against the closest prior work — including the foundational JLE canon the field already treats as established. Becker (crime/deterrence), Coase (social cost), Stigler/Peltzman (regulation/capture), Demsetz (property), Priest–Klein (litigation selection) are not papers you re-derive; they are the baseline you must add to. Name your contribution type, then position only against the work that threatens it.

Contribution typeWhat "new" must mean at JLEPositioning move
New answera magnitude prior law-and-econ work could not credibly estimateshow why earlier designs could not identify the effect of the rule
New legal variationa cleaner source of identification (a reform, threshold, assignment)contrast your design's assumptions vs. the standard cross-section
New institution / jurisdictionexternal validity that changes the regulatory lessonargue why this legal regime is informative, not merely available
New mechanismdecomposing a known legal effect into channels (deterrence vs. incapacitation; price vs. quality)show prior work left the channel ambiguous
New measurementa legal/regulatory object nobody could measure before (hand-coded doctrine, an enforcement index)establish the measure's validity, not just its novelty

Positioning craft

  1. The three-paper test. Name the three closest papers (often including a JLE classic) and write one sentence each on what they establish and what they leave open. Your contribution lives in the "leave open" gaps.
  2. The honest delta. State the marginal addition in one sentence the closest author would agree with. "We re-estimate Becker with modern crime data" is too thin unless the design is the contribution.
  3. Position by the legal source of variation, not by topic. "First paper on antitrust in sector X" is weak; "first credibly identified price effect of a merger because the consent decree created a clean control market" is strong.
  4. Respect the canon, do not re-prove it. Cite the foundational result, state what it settled, and add at its frontier — re-deriving Coase or Priest–Klein reads as not knowing the field.
  5. Cite siblings correctly. Distinguish what Journal of Legal Studies (doctrine), JLEO (organizations), and ALER have established so you are not re-claiming settled ground.

Checklist

  • Contribution type named (answer / legal variation / institution / mechanism / measurement)
  • Three closest papers identified (incl. the relevant JLE/field classic), each with "establishes / leaves open" sentences
  • One-sentence honest delta the closest author would accept
  • Positioned by the legal source of variation or the model, not merely by topic or jurisdiction
  • Foundational result cited and credited, not re-derived
  • Sibling-journal results (JLS / JLEO / ALER) acknowledged so nothing settled is re-claimed

Anti-patterns

  • A literature "tour" of the law-and-economics canon with no stated marginal addition
  • Re-proving Becker / Coase / Stigler with fresh data and calling the data the contribution
  • Claiming "first to study X" when the novelty is only jurisdiction or sample, not identification
  • Positioning against distant work to dodge the closest competitor (often a recent JLE/JLS paper)
  • Ignoring a recent paper that already partly closed the gap

Worked vignette (illustrative)

A draft claims to be "the first study of minimum-wage enforcement and employment." A referee notes that the employment effect of minimum wages is among the most studied questions in economics. The JLE fix is to reposition by the legal/enforcement margin the labor literature leaves open: prior work estimates the effect of the statutory wage, but not of enforcement intensity, which varies with agency budgets. Using a staggered increase in state labor-inspectorate funding, the paper isolates the enforcement channel and shows non-compliance, not the headline wage, drives the disemployment (illustrative). The contribution becomes a mechanism (statute vs. enforcement) the labor literature did not pin down — a distinctly law-and-economics delta.

Positioning across the law-and-economics sibling journals

JLE referees will ask not only "what is new?" but "why is this a JLE contribution and not a sibling's?" Make the boundary explicit in the intro so the contribution reads as squarely law-and-economics:

  • vs. Journal of Legal Studies (also UChicago): JLS leans more doctrinal/legal and will accept normative-legal contributions; a JLE contribution is the economic effect or efficiency property of the rule, identified or modeled, not a doctrinal argument.
  • vs. JLEO: JLEO's frontier is organizations, governance, and positive political economy; if your delta is "how an institution's internal structure shapes outcomes as an equilibrium," that may be JLEO — keep the JLE delta on the price-theoretic or deterrence effect of a legal rule.
  • vs. American Law and Economics Review: ALER absorbs solid-but-incremental law-and-econ; your JLE delta must clear a higher novelty/identification bar.
  • vs. field journals (JPubE, JOLE, IO journals): if labor/public/IO economists would cite it without caring about the law, the legal angle is not load-bearing and the contribution is mis-placed.

Referee pushback mapped to the positioning fix

  • "This is incremental relative to [the classic JLE result]." → State the honest delta in one sentence; show the specific frontier the canon left open and that you close.
  • "You claim 'first' but it is just a new jurisdiction." → Reframe as a cleaner identification off a legal change, or a new mechanism, with the design reason it could not be done before.
  • "You ignore [recent paper] that already does this." → Cite it, state precisely what it settled, and position in the residual gap.
  • "Why is this JLE and not JLS / JLEO?" → Show the delta is the economic effect of a legal rule, identified or modeled — not doctrine (JLS) or organizational equilibrium (JLEO).

Crediting the canon without re-deriving it

A recurring JLE positioning error is treating a foundational result as if it were open. Becker's deterrence framework, Coase's bargaining logic, Stigler's capture theory, and Priest–Klein's selection result are established; a paper that re-derives them looks like it does not know the field. Cite the canonical result, state in one clause what it settled, and then add at its frontier — a credible estimate of a magnitude the theory implied but no one had identified, a mechanism the original left ambiguous, or a setting that overturns the prediction. The contribution is the increment to the canon, never the canon restated.

Where the contribution sentence goes

JLE referees expect the marginal contribution stated in the first one or two paragraphs of the introduction, not discovered on page six. The load-bearing sentence is a single claim of the form: "Relative to [closest work], which [established X but left Y open], we provide the first [credibly identified / rigorously modeled] estimate of Y by exploiting [the legal source of variation], and find [headline]." If you cannot write that sentence, the positioning is not yet done — go back to the three-paper test before drafting prose (jle-writing-style will assume this sentence already exists).
