# JFQA Rebuttal (jfqa-rebuttal) Use this skill to turn a **JFQA** revise-and-resubmit into an acceptance. The handling **Managing Editor** and the **double-anonymous** referees must see every concern addressed and the contribution sharpened. ## Structure of the response - A short **cover letter** to the handling editor: thank them, summarize the main changes, and signal how the revision resolves the central concerns. - A **point-by-point** response to each referee: quote the comment, give the response, and point to the exact revised text/table/figure (page and exhibit numbers). - Where you disagree, do so respectfully and with evidence, not assertion. ## What JFQA referees typically push on - **Identification / endogeneity** — add the design fix or a placebo/falsification, not just more controls (see jfqa-identification-strategy). - **Inference** — clustering dimension, weak-IV-robust CIs, multiple-testing for anomalies. - **Economic magnitude** — show the effect is economically, not just statistically, meaningful. - **Robustness** — alternative samples/definitions/specifications. - **Contribution** — re-state what is new vs. the closest rivals. ## Discipline - Address **every** co

What does the jfqa-rebuttal skill do?

Use when planning the strategy and structure for a Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) revise-and-resubmit response — point-by-point replies to double-anonymous referees and the handling Managing Editor, new robustness/identification evidence, and code-archive readiness.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jfqa-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.
