Here is an algorithm for generating the main sections of theoretical economics papers. It is an application of the earlier proposal for research paper structuring (also posted here), and has been tested against four recent famous economics papers.
1. Present a set of equations describing a situation (Whether a base situation or additional feature or adjusting feature)
2. Solve them
3. Deduce a property and discuss its implications (the property should arise by virtue of the base situation or its additional feature, and should concern an important topic)
4. Give a numerical calculation or table based on varied parameter values tried in the property equations
5. Highlight key variables used in the property
6. Describe the property’s relation to other properties in the paper or elsewhere.
7. Repeat from step 1 or step 3
