JUE Workflow Router (jue-workflow)
Overview
This is the router. It tells you which jue- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at the Journal of Urban Economics (JUE) — the Elsevier field flagship for urban & regional economics, founded in 1974 by Edwin Mills and described as "the premier journal in the field." JUE rewards papers whose question is genuinely spatial: agglomeration economies, housing supply & real estate, local labor markets, commuting & transportation, land use & zoning, local public finance & Tiebout sorting, neighborhood effects, spatial sorting, urban growth, and place-based policy. The bar is a credible spatial identification married to a clear urban mechanism — not just a national-level result run on geographic data.
Operational tells that you are at JUE and not a sibling: single-anonymized (single-blind) review via Editorial Manager; a US$100 nonrefundable submission fee paid during submission (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准); a mandatory replication policy (data + code deposited to a major repository at acceptance, before publication); a short-paper track, JUE: Insights (≤6,000 words, ≤5 exhibits); co-editors-in-chief Nathaniel Baum-Snow (Toronto) and Kristian Behrens (UQÀM) (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Re-verify volatile specifics on the official Elsevier/ScienceDirect pages.
When to trigger
- The user asks "what should I do next?" on a JUE-bound paper
- A draft needs its current spatial-economics bottleneck diagnosed
- Work is ping-ponging between framing, identification, exhibits (maps!), and the response letter
- A JUE decision letter arrived and the user must switch into revision mode
- The team is deciding between JUE and a sibling (RSUE, JREconomics, JEG, JPubE)
Routing table
| Current symptom | Next skill |
|---|---|
| Question is not clearly spatial / fit with JUE vs a sibling is uncertain | jue-topic-selection |
| Contribution vs. the urban-econ frontier is fuzzy or undersold | jue-literature-positioning |
| The spatial causal design (boundary RD, shift-share, place-based DiD) is shaky | jue-identification |
| The mechanism needs a spatial-equilibrium or sorting model to interpret | jue-theory-model |
| Results may be spatial-autocorrelation-, sorting-, or sample-sensitive | jue-robustness |
| Exhibits are dense; the paper has no map; spatial pattern is invisible | jue-tables-figures |
| Prose buries the spatial mechanism; intro/abstract do not land | jue-writing-style |
| Geocoded/restricted data deposit, README, repository prep | jue-replication-package |
| Likely referee objections should be anticipated before submission | jue-referee-strategy |
| Ready to submit via Editorial Manager; need a preflight | jue-submission |
| An R&R arrived; need a response-letter strategy | jue-rebuttal |
Default order
jue-topic-selection → jue-literature-positioning → jue-identification → jue-theory-model → jue-robustness → jue-tables-figures → jue-writing-style → jue-replication-package → jue-referee-strategy → jue-submission → jue-rebuttal
jue-writing-styleis late-stage polish — do not rewrite the intro before identification and the spatial mechanism settle. Startjue-replication-packageearly if data is geocoded or restricted; the deposit is harder than it looks.
Routing by paper archetype
JUE spans several spatial sub-fields and the binding constraint differs by archetype. Read the archetype, then enter the chain at the right link.
| Archetype | Likely first bottleneck | Enter at |
|---|---|---|
| housing supply / real estate prices | spatial sorting & supply-elasticity identification | jue-identification |
| agglomeration / productivity | reverse causality + Bartik/historical-IV exogeneity | jue-identification |
| place-based policy evaluation | boundary discontinuity or DiD with spatial spillovers (SUTVA) | jue-identification → jue-robustness |
| neighborhood effects / mobility | selection into neighborhoods; MTO-style design | jue-identification |
| quantitative spatial model (QSM) | what data identifies the structural parameters | jue-theory-model |
| transportation / commuting | network endogeneity; market-access measurement | jue-identification |
How JUE differs from its siblings (keep this straight while routing)
- RSUE (Regional Science & Urban Economics, Elsevier) — leans more methodological / regional-science; JUE leads with the economics, not the spatial method.
- Journal of Regional Science — broader regional-science scope; JUE is the urban-economics field flagship.
- JEG (Journal of Economic Geography, OUP) — economic-geography framing (clusters, evolutionary geography), non-Elsevier; JUE is spatial-equilibrium urban economics.
- JPubE (Journal of Public Economics) — the tax/spending design leads; at JUE the spatial reallocation and capitalization lead.
- AEJ: Applied — rewards the causal design alone; JUE additionally requires a load-bearing urban mechanism.
Anti-patterns
- Treating JUE as interchangeable with RSUE (more methods/regional-science), Journal of Regional Science, JEG (econ-geography, OUP), or JPubE (a place-based result is not automatically a public-finance paper)
- Polishing exhibits or prose while the spatial identification is still moving
- Deferring the replication folder to acceptance when the data is geocoded/restricted
- A national-level result dressed in geographic data with no urban mechanism
Worked routing example (illustrative)
A user says: "My paper shows a new rail line raised nearby house prices, but a referee says the price jump could be sorting of richer households into the corridor, and the control areas may be contaminated by displaced demand." That is two distinct JUE pushbacks — spatial sorting/selection and SUTVA/spillover contamination of controls — both owned by jue-identification (design) and jue-robustness (spatial-spillover sensitivity, donut controls). Route to jue-identification first; only once the capitalization estimate is defended (say it settles at 4.5%, illustrative) return to jue-tables-figures for the map and jue-rebuttal.
Two cross-cutting threads to keep alive throughout
- Spatial inference is not a single stage — it surfaces in
jue-identification(Conley/spatial-cluster SEs),jue-robustness(cutoff sensitivity), andjue-tables-figures(reporting). Do not treat it as a one-time fix. - The replication path for geocoded/restricted data touches
jue-topic-selection(feasibility),jue-replication-package(deposit), andjue-submission(cover-letter exemption). Decide it early, not at acceptance.
