jebo-robustness

Use when a Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO) result may be fragile to demand effects, multiple comparisons, specification, or tuning. Organizes robustness by the behavioral threat each check addresses — for experiments, observational designs, and simulations; it does not redesign the identification or write the prose.

# Robustness Strategy (jebo-robustness)

## When to trigger

- An experiment has several treatment arms / outcomes and you have not corrected for multiplicity
- A referee could attribute the effect to **experimenter demand**, confusion, or order effects
- An observational result moves with controls, sample windows, or estimator choice
- An agent-based result might be an artifact of grid, seed, or tuning choices
- You have a long, unstructured "robustness" appendix and no map from check to threat

## Organize robustness by behavioral threat, not by appendix list

At JEBO the right question is never "did we run enough checks?" but "for each way this could *not* be the behavioral mechanism, did we show it survives?" Build a threat → check map. The threats differ sharply across the four archetypes.
