The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
An ARE review is read by economists outside the subfield — smart, but not specialists here. The voice is a trusted, fair expert teaching the field to a colleague from another area. Four qualities define it:
An ARE introduction differs from a research-paper intro:
frame the field (what it studies, why it matters to economists broadly) → why a synthesis is needed now (new evidence / method shift / policy salience) → the organizing question and the spine (the map the reader will be given) → what the review concludes and the open questions (the payoff, stated up front) → roadmap (brief).
State the bottom line early. A review that withholds its conclusions to the end wastes the outsider's time and reads as indecisive.
ARE prizes the future-agenda ending more than most outlets: the empty cells of the framework become a concrete research agenda — what we do not yet know, what evidence would resolve it, which methods are ripe to apply. An ARE review that ends with "more research is needed" has wasted its most valuable section; name the specific open questions instead.
A review abstract describes what the review does for the reader — the field, why a synthesis now, the organizing idea, the headline state-of-knowledge takeaway — not a single empirical finding. Avoid "we estimate / we find a coefficient of…"; that is a primary-paper abstract. Confirm length/format limits on the Annual Reviews author pages (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
Annual Reviews uses its own format, including a numbered/name reference style distinct from AEA author-year (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准); the production editor applies house style at acceptance, so the delivered draft need not pre-conform, but the reference data must be complete and accurate. Keep prose crisp: length is a privilege, and every section must earn its pages by advancing the argument about the field.
