jfe-rebuttal
Use when drafting the response to a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) revise-and-resubmit — the response letter, point-by-point replies, and the revision-tracking that JFE's demanding rounds require. Drafts the response after revisions are made; it does not invent new results you have not run.

# R&R Rebuttal (jfe-rebuttal) ## When to trigger - You received a JFE revise-and-resubmit (or a major-revision invitation) - You have referee reports and need a structured, point-by-point response - You have done the revisions and need to document them clearly - You are facing a demanding second or third round ## The JFE revision culture JFE typically runs multiple demanding rounds. Referees expect that every comment is taken seriously and that requested analyses are actually run, not deflected. The response letter is judged almost as closely as the paper: it must be complete, respectful, and evidence-backed. Do the work first, then write the letter — never draft replies to comments you have not actually addressed. Two JFE specifics shape the revision: (1) a revise-and-resubmit carries **no submission fee** (only initial submissions pay the US$850), so resubmitting promptly costs nothing but your time; (2) the handling editor is a subfield expert under Editor-in-Chief Toni M. Whited's small co-editor team, so the editor's letter — not any single referee — is the controlling document. Substantial new robustness goes into the appended Internet Appendix and the updated **Mendeley Data

What does the jfe-rebuttal skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jfe-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 909 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.
