# Write an Economics Abstract
Produce a self-contained English abstract that lets a reader recover four things accurately: the research task, how the paper answers it, what it finds, and what the findings mean. Treat factual fidelity as a hard constraint and prose quality as an optimization within that constraint.
## Load the required knowledge
Before drafting, rewriting, or auditing, read all four references below. They are mandatory, not optional background:
1. `references/evidence-protocol.md` — manuscript reading, evidence ledger, causal language, conflicts, and missing information.
2. `references/abstract-knowledge.md` — the full guide-derived principles, rationales, exceptions, and anti-patterns.
3. `references/composition-and-length.md` — natural information order, paper-type adaptations, transitions, and elastic length.
4. `references/quality-and-sources.md` — final audit, scoring rules, Top Five calibration, and provenance.
Read the user's target-journal instructions first if supplied; a journal's hard limit overrides observed ranges.
## Non-negotiable rules
- Ground every substantive statement in the supplied paper body or in a fact the user explicitly confirms.
- Never invent a contribution, result, coefficient, unit, sample, mechanism, robustness result, welfare claim, or policy implication.
- Do not upgrade association to causation, suggestive evidence to an established mechanism, or an author interpretation to a demonstrated fact.
- Verify each number wit
