JME Workflow Router (jme-workflow)
Overview
This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you which jme- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at the Journal of Monetary Economics (JME).
Default assumption: unless told otherwise, treat the target as JME — Elsevier's leading outlet for monetary economics and macroeconomics broadly defined (monetary theory and policy, central banking, business cycles, growth, financial intermediation, fiscal interactions, expectations), in both quantitative/DSGE and empirical/applied-policy modes. Operational tells you are at JME and not a generic top econ journal: submission via Elsevier Editorial Manager (editorialmanager.com/monec/); a US$350 fee (US$200 for full-time PhD students) charged up front (no fee on resubmission; half refunded on a direct return); single anonymized (single-blind) review with at least two reviewers; the distinctive "up or out" first-revision rule and the ~50% publication-likelihood threshold for an R&R; a strict 40-page / ≤10 tables-and-figures cap on accepted papers; a 100-word abstract that may not begin with "This paper" or "We"; and the annual Carnegie-Rochester-NYU Conference Series on Public Policy issue. Editors are S. Borağan Aruoba (Maryland) and Eric Swanson (UC Irvine). Re-verify volatile specifics on the official page.
When to trigger
- The user asks "what should I do next?"
- The user hands over a draft and needs the current bottleneck diagnosed
- Work is ping-ponging between the model, the empirics, writing, and the response letter
- A JME decision letter arrived (reject / revise-and-resubmit) and the user needs to switch modes
Routing table
| Current symptom | Next skill |
|---|---|
| Idea feels narrow / unclear fit with monetary-macro scope | jme-topic-selection |
| Contribution relative to the monetary-macro literature is fuzzy | jme-literature-positioning |
| The "what's new / why it matters for policy" pitch is undersold | jme-contribution-framing |
| Causal/structural identification of the shock or mechanism is undefended | jme-identification-strategy |
| VAR/LP/DSGE estimation or moments need stress-testing | jme-data-analysis |
| Too many exhibits for the 10-table-and-figure cap; IRFs unclear | jme-tables-figures |
| Prose buries the result; abstract begins with "This paper"/"We" | jme-writing-style |
| Need the ScienceDirect/Mendeley deposit + AI declaration ready | jme-replication-and-data-policy |
| Want to understand single-blind review, two-referee, "up or out" | jme-review-process |
| Ready to submit via Editorial Manager; need the fee + 40-page preflight | jme-submission |
| Received an R&R; the resubmission is "up or out" | jme-rebuttal |
Default order
jme-topic-selection— confirm a first-order monetary/macro question and JME fitjme-literature-positioning— stake the contribution against the frontierjme-contribution-framing— sharpen the "what's new + policy lesson" claimjme-identification-strategy— make the shock/mechanism identification crediblejme-data-analysis— VAR / local projections / DSGE estimation and robustnessjme-tables-figures— fit IRFs and tables under the ≤10 cap, online appendix for the restjme-writing-style— JME house style; 100-word abstract; author-date referencesjme-replication-and-data-policy— ScienceDirect/Mendeley deposit + AI declarationjme-review-process— understand single-blind, two-referee, "up or out", 50% thresholdjme-submission— Editorial Manager preflight (fee, 40 pages, line numbers, JEL codes)jme-rebuttal— after the R&R (the resubmission must end in accept or reject)
jme-writing-styleis a late-stage polish. Do not rewrite the intro before the model and identification are settled — the argument will change.
Decision shortcuts
- "Is my question monetary-macro enough for JME?" →
jme-topic-selection - "My TWFE/VAR shock is not really identified" →
jme-identification-strategy - "Should I report VAR and local projections?" →
jme-data-analysis - "I have 14 figures" →
jme-tables-figures - "My abstract starts with 'We'" →
jme-writing-style - "Editor may require my Dynare code" →
jme-replication-and-data-policy - "Submitting tomorrow; do I pay the fee now?" →
jme-submission - "Got an R&R — what does 'up or out' mean for me?" →
jme-rebuttal

JME MANUSCRIPT ROUTING SNAPSHOT
================================================================
Venue : Journal of Monetary Economics (Elsevier)
Portal : Editorial Manager — editorialmanager.com/monec/
Editors : S. Borağan Aruoba (Maryland) | Eric Swanson (UC Irvine)
Issue track : [ ] regular [ ] Carnegie-Rochester-NYU policy issue
Review model : single-blind, at least two referees
Revision rule : first revision is "up or out" — resubmission ends in
accept or reject; R&R only if publication likelihood
is judged roughly >= 50%
STAGE GATES — mark exactly one line CURRENT
[ ] G1 scope question is aggregate/monetary ... jme-topic-selection
[ ] G2 positioning frontier delta staked .......... jme-literature-positioning
[ ] G3 framing "new + policy lesson" pitched .. jme-contribution-framing
[ ] G4 identification shock/mechanism defended .... jme-identification-strategy
[ ] G5 estimation VAR/LP/DSGE stress-tested ...... jme-data-analysis
[ ] G6 exhibits IRFs/tables fit the cap ........ jme-tables-figures
[ ] G7 prose house style applied ............ jme-writing-style
[ ] G8 deposit replication package staged ..... jme-replication-and-data-policy
[ ] G9 process review rules understood ........ jme-review-process
[ ] G10 submission Editorial Manager preflight .... jme-submission
[ ] G11 rebuttal up-or-out response drafted ..... jme-rebuttal
SUBMISSION PREFLIGHT (all must be Y before G10 closes)
[ ] Abstract <= 100 words; does NOT begin with "This paper" or "We"
[ ] Text + references + footnotes <= 40 pages (accepted-paper cap;
online supplement exempt)
[ ] Tables + figures combined <= 10
[ ] Submission fee ready: US$350 (US$200 full-time PhD students),
paid up front; no fee on resubmission
[ ] Generative-AI declaration included per Elsevier policy
BLOCKER LOG
- current bottleneck : ______________________________________
- routed sub-skill : jme-__________________________________
- unverified fact to re-check on the official page: __________
Re-fill the snapshot after every decision letter: a reject closes the file; an R&R moves CURRENT straight to G11 with the up-or-out clock running.
Anti-patterns
- Do not skip
jme-literature-positioningand jump to estimation — referees judge the contribution first - Do not polish exhibits while the shock identification or model is still shaky
- Do not treat the 40-page / ≤10 exhibit cap as a final-stage edit — design for it from the start
- Do not let
jme-rebuttaldraft the response before the revised manuscript exists — and remember the resubmission is up or out, not another R&R round
