jmcb-referee-strategy
Use when anticipating referee objections for a Journal of Money, Credit and Banking (JMCB) manuscript before submission (or before resubmitting), so the paper pre-empts the predictable monetary/banking pushbacks. Hardens the paper against its own reviewers; it does not draft the response letter (see jmcb-rebuttal).

# Referee Strategy (jmcb-referee-strategy) ## When to trigger - The paper is near submission and you want to find the objections before a referee does - You are unsure which editorial desk / referee type the paper will draw and how to address each - A prior rejection's reports show a recurring objection you have not yet defused - The contribution is sound but the paper has obvious unguarded flanks (shock cleanliness, demand contamination, inference) ## Who reviews at JMCB, and what they attack JMCB papers are typically refereed by **monetary/banking specialists** who hold strong priors about mechanisms and are quick to spot the field's classic failures. Anticipate the reviewer *type* your paper will draw and pre-empt their reflexes: | Referee type | What they reliably attack | Pre-empt by | |---|---|---| | Monetary-macro empiricist | shock contamination (information effect, anticipation); SVAR ordering; IRF inference | clean, info-robust shock; ordering/restriction sensitivity in the body | | Banking micro-econometrician | demand vs. supply; clustering; M&A/identifier hygiene | firm×time FE; two-way clustering; merger-adjusted panel | | Structural/quant modeler | what disciplines p

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