# Write an Economics Conclusion Create the clean snapshot a reader should carry away from the paper: what the paper established, why it matters, and where the claim stops. Synthesize rather than repeat. Treat every extension beyond the results—mechanism, external validity, policy, and future work—as evidence-dependent. ## Load the required knowledge Before drafting, rewriting, or auditing, read all four references: 1. `references/evidence-protocol.md` — manuscript reading, evidence ledger, causal language, conflicts, and missing information. 2. `references/conclusion-knowledge.md` — the complete guide-derived principles, rationales, conditions, and anti-patterns. 3. `references/composition-and-length.md` — module selection, natural order, transitions, paper-type branches, and elastic length. 4. `references/quality-and-sources.md` — final audit, scoring rules, Top Five calibration, and provenance. These references are mandatory. Follow the target journal and any separate Discussion-section convention before applying default length guidance. ## Non-negotiable rules - Base the conclusion on claims delivered by the manuscript body, not merely promised in the introduction. - Never add a result, coefficient, mechanism, limitation, citation, counterfactual, future project, or policy claim that the supplied material does not support. - Distinguish identified mechanisms, model-implied mechanisms, evidence consistent with a channel, suggestive evidence, and author speculation. -
