  • Running and reporting the empirical analysis for a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) manuscript — standard-error clustering

What it does

Revacc Data Analysis is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when running and reporting the empirical analysis for a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) manuscript — standard-error clustering, executing the identification, validating accounting constructs, and the robustness battery referees expect, plus the data provenance trail. Executes and reports; it does not choose the identification strategy (revacc-methods) or frame the contribution (revacc-contribution-framing).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping, 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

  • Running and reporting the empirical analysis for a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) manuscript — standard-error clustering
  • Executing the identification
  • Validating accounting constructs
  • The robustness battery referees expect

Example prompts

  • “/revacc-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

Revacc Data Analysis loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 655 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

Use when running and reporting the empirical analysis for a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) manuscript — standard-error clustering, executing the identification, validating accounting constructs, and the robustness battery referees expect, plus the data provenance trail. Executes and reports; it does not choose the identification strategy (revacc-methods) or frame the contribution (revacc-contribution-framing).

Data Analysis & Robustness (revacc-data-analysis)

When to trigger

  • Data are built and it is time to estimate and report
  • You are unsure how to cluster standard errors for your accounting panel
  • Referees will probe endogeneity, construct measurement, or the channel
  • You must document the Compustat/CRSP/I/B/E/S/audit-data provenance behind the sample
  • An analytical paper needs a stylized empirical illustration of its comparative statics

Get the standard errors right (a RAST signature check)

Empirical-accounting referees scrutinize inference. Default to clustering by firm, and consider two-way clustering by firm and year (Petersen) when both cross-sectional and time-series dependence are present. With few clusters (e.g., a state- or country-level policy), use the wild-cluster bootstrap rather than asymptotic cluster-robust SEs. Match the clustering to the source of correlated shocks implied by your design, and report the choice explicitly — an unjustified SE choice is a fast credibility hit at a journal that often decides in one round.

Execute the identification, don't just assert it

  • DiD: report pre-trends and use heterogeneity-robust estimators for staggered timing (Callaway–Sant'Anna / Sun–Abraham), not naive two-way FE.
  • RD: report the optimal bandwidth, robust bias-corrected estimates, a manipulation (density) test, and covariate balance at the cutoff.
  • IV/2SLS: report the first stage and instrument strength (e.g., F-statistic) and defend the exclusion in words.
  • Event studies: report abnormal returns with a defensible benchmark and window, and confront confounding events — central for value-relevance and information-content claims.

Measure accounting constructs credibly

Use measures with precedent in prior RAST/JAR/JAE/TAR work (discretionary accruals, accruals quality, earnings persistence/smoothness, disclosure indices, comparability, audit-quality proxies, bid-ask spread / PIN for information asymmetry). Show the proxy behaves sensibly (validation, correlation with established measures) and test sensitivity to alternative proxies — proxy fragility is one of the most common RAST rejection reasons. For analyst/forecasting work, document I/B/E/S handling (actuals definition, stale-forecast screens, splits adjustments).

The robustness battery referees expect

  • Alternative specifications: controls in/out, alternative fixed effects, alternative key-construct measures.
  • Subsamples and falsification/placebo tests (effect absent where theory says it should be).
  • Sensitivity of identification assumptions (alternative instruments, donut RD, bounds).
  • Cross-sectional partitions that confirm the predicted channel (the conditional predictions from revacc-theory-development).
  • Sample-construction, winsorization, and screen choices documented and varied.

Provenance is a deliverable, not a courtesy

RAST does not run JAE's mandatory archive or JAR's posted package as the headline, but referees and the editor still expect a credible, reconstructable sample. Keep top-to-bottom runnable scripts that regenerate every table from raw extracts; document screens, vintages, and access dates for each source; respect database terms of use. If the work entered through the RAST Conference path, keep the version history clean for the conference-issue timeline. Confirm current data/code expectations on the official page (待核实; 检索于 2026-06).

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Run the battery, don't just enumerate it. Full map: execution-with-mcp. RAST is empirical accounting; emphasize identification of disclosure / governance effects and the multiple-testing haircut for mined associations.

  • Many outcomes / specifications: romano_wolf (step-down FWER) or benjamini_hochberg — report the adjusted threshold.
  • OVB sensitivity: oster_delta / sensemakr.
  • Inference: wild_cluster_bootstrap (few clusters), twoway_cluster / conley; multilevel data → cluster at the right level.
  • Re-fit off one handle: audit_result(result_id) lists the missing checks and the exact suggest_function for each.
  • Exhibits: etable / did_summary_to_latex from the handle — no retyped numbers.

Keep the decisive checks in the body and the exhaustive battery in the appendix. See the executed chain in the JF execution walkthrough.

Checklist

  • SE clustering matches the design (firm / firm-and-year; wild bootstrap if few clusters), stated explicitly
  • Identification executed with diagnostics (pre-trends / bandwidth / first-stage / balance)
  • Modern DiD estimators used for staggered treatment timing
  • Key construct validated; results robust to alternative proxies
  • Robustness, falsification/placebo, and channel partitions reported
  • Winsorization/screens documented and varied; I/B/E/S handling documented where relevant
  • Provenance trail (sources, vintages, screens) reconstructable; scripts runnable end-to-end

Anti-patterns

  • White/robust SEs on panel data ignoring within-firm correlation.
  • Naive two-way-FE DiD with staggered adoption.
  • One proxy, no validation for a contested accounting construct.
  • Significance fishing across windows, bandwidths, or specifications.
  • Confounded event windows in value-relevance/information-content tests.
  • Black-box sample: screens and vintages undocumented, results unreproducible.
