expecon-rebuttal
Use when responding to a revise-and-resubmit or referee report for an Experimental Economics (ExpEcon) manuscript — including when a referee demands a new treatment, more sessions, or raises a deception/power concern. Plans the response; it does not run the new analysis.

# Rebuttal Strategy (expecon-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - An R&R or rejection arrived and you must decide what to concede, contest, or re-run - A referee asks for a **new treatment or more sessions** — the costliest and most common ExpEcon request - A reviewer raised a **deception** or **power/inference-unit** concern that could be decisive - Two referees disagree, or the two editors' priorities differ, and you need a coherent plan ## The ExpEcon revision reality: new data is on the table Unlike journals where revisions are textual, an ExpEcon R&R often requires **collecting new data** — an added control treatment, more matching groups for power, or a robustness condition. Plan the response around that fact. 1. **Triage every comment** into: (a) **new data needed** (new treatment / more sessions), (b) **re-analysis** (correct inference unit, MHT correction, new test), (c) **clarification** (already in the paper, surface it), (d) **respectful disagreement** (with evidence). Most letters are mostly (b)–(c); isolate the (a) items because they set the timeline and budget. 2. **Address the gate concerns first and decisively.** A deception worry is existential: either prove the procedu

What does the expecon-rebuttal skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill expecon-rebuttal --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
