JFQA Contribution Framing (jfqa-contribution-framing)

Use this skill to state the contribution of a JFQA manuscript crisply — the journal is highly selective (prints < 9% of 1,000+ annual submissions) and imposes an unusually strict abstract limit.

The 100-word abstract (hard constraint)

JFQA requires the abstract to be one paragraph of no more than 100 words — tighter than most finance/economics flagships. Make every word count:

• One sentence on the question and why it matters in finance.
• One or two sentences on the data/design (sample, identification).
• One or two sentences on the headline quantitative result, with a number (basis points, alpha, elasticity, magnitude per one-SD change).
• One sentence on the broader implication for the subfield.
• No citations, no equations, no filler. Stay at or under 100 words.
