jimf-referee-strategy
Use when anticipating and pre-empting referee objections before submitting a Journal of International Money and Finance (JIMF) manuscript. Maps the likely international-finance pushbacks to fixes you make now; it does not draft the post-decision response (jimf-rebuttal).

# Referee Strategy (jimf-referee-strategy) ## When to trigger - The paper is near submission and you want to see it through a JIMF referee's eyes first - You suspect a predictable objection (endogeneity, "it's just the GFC," US-centrism) is unanswered - You need to decide which checks to run *now* versus hold in reserve for a revision - The contribution is solid but the framing invites a "wrong journal" or "incremental" rejection ## How JIMF referees read a paper A JIMF referee is usually an international-finance specialist who will probe three things in order: **is the contribution genuinely international and non-incremental; is the identification credible against global confounders; and is the result robust to the field's standard fragility checks (episode, dollar, regime, measure).** The most common reasons for rejection are not statistical errors but (1) thin international content, (2) a causal claim that is really a correlation with a global driver, and (3) results that do not survive dropping the obvious episode or the US.

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