Use when auditing a finished or near-finished AER, AER:Insights, or AEJ manuscript for internal consistency: headline numbers across abstract, introduction, results, and tables; sample sizes; log-point and percentage-point conversions; cross-references; and in-text-citation/bibliography matching. Apply after the body and exhibits exist, before aer-referee-sim and aer-submission.

Use when selecting, implementing, or stress-testing the causal identification strategy for an empirical economics manuscript — difference-in-differences (including staggered designs), instrumental variables (including weak-IV-robust inference), regression discontinuity, synthetic control, or shift-share / Bartik. Apply before writing the introduction or results.

Use when responding to a Revise & Resubmit decision from AER, AER:Insights, or an AEJ, and a point-by-point response letter plus aligned manuscript revisions are needed. Handles triage, the concede / clarify / push-back decision, and the response-letter format that editors actually read.

Use when implementing or running the empirical analysis for an AER-track manuscript with StatsPAI — the agent-native unified Python engine and MCP server for causal inference and econometrics — as an alternative to hand-written Stata / R / Python template code. Covers DiD, IV, RDD, synthetic control, robustness, sensitivity, and publication-ready table export.

Use when constructing or revising regression tables, descriptive statistics tables, or figures for an AER, AER:Insights, or AEJ manuscript. Implements AER booktabs house style, the standard regression-table layout, and the figure-notes convention.

Use when deciding which AER-skills sub-skill to use next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for the American Economic Review, AER:Insights, or AEJ journals. Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.
