# R&R Revision & Response for JAE (jae-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - You received a JAE revise-and-resubmit and must plan the revision - Reviewers demand additional identification, mechanism, or robustness tests - You need to write the point-by-point response letter - You are unsure how to reconcile conflicting reviewer requests ## Revise before you write the letter Do the empirical and theoretical work **first**; the response letter documents revisions already made, not promises. At JAE the binding hierarchy is: the **Editor's letter first** (the contribution framing and the identification that must hold), then each **reviewer** point. Where the editor and a reviewer conflict, follow the editor and explain the resolution courteously. ## Prioritize what JAE referees care about Because the decision rests on **economic mechanism and identification**, allocate effort accordingly: - **Identification challenges**: add the natural experiment, instrument, placebo, or pre-trend evidence the referee wants; if a clean design is impossible, bound the bias and argue robustness honestly. - **Mechanism**: add cross-sectional partitions showing the effect concentrates where the economic friction

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jae-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.
