Use when an AEJ: Economic Policy decision letter (R&R or reject-and-resubmit) has arrived and a response-letter strategy and revision plan are needed. Structures the response to referees and editor with policy-relevance front and center; it does not run new estimation or redesign identification from scratch.

# Rebuttal & Response Letter (aejpol-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- An AEJ: Policy R&R or major-revision letter arrived and you must plan the response
- Referee reports conflict and you need an editor-anchored prioritization
- You need to convert reports into a revision plan plus a point-by-point letter
- A resubmission needs a cover note showing how every comment was addressed

## How to run an AEJ: Policy revision

The editor's letter is the contract — **prioritize what the editor emphasizes**, then address every referee point. At AEJ: Policy the recurring high-stakes asks are about (a) the **credibility of the causal claim**, (b) the **welfare / policy reading**, and (c) **robustness and reproducibility**. Treat the response as a chance to make the policy contribution *more* prominent, not just to patch holes.
