jleo-rebuttal

Use when a Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization (JLEO) decision letter has arrived and you need a response-letter strategy — triaging an institutional-economist referee's report into a credible revision and point-by-point reply. Plans the rebuttal; it does not redo the analysis (route back to the relevant jleo-* skill).

# Rebuttal Strategy (jleo-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- A JLEO R&R or major-revision letter arrived and you must plan the response before editing
- Two referees pull in opposite directions (one wants more theory, one more empirics) and you must reconcile
- A referee challenges the institutional mechanism or the identification of a *chosen* governance/institution
- The editor's letter signals which concerns are decisive and which are optional
- You need a point-by-point response that an institutional-economics referee will read as responsive, not evasive
