jeem-rebuttal

Use when a Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) decision letter or referee report needs a response strategy — triaging R&R demands, planning new spatial/valuation robustness, and writing the response letter the editor and field referees expect. Plans the revision; it loops back to the analysis skills for the actual work.

# Rebuttal Strategy (jeem-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- A JEEM R&R, major-revision, or reject-and-resubmit letter has arrived
- Two referees disagree (a methods referee vs. a policy referee) and you must satisfy both plus the editor
- A referee demands new spatial SEs, an alternative valuation specification, or a leakage analysis
- You need to decide what is a must-do versus a polite-decline before drafting responses
- The headline welfare number moved under a requested check and you must decide how to present it

## Tone and structure of the response document

The response is a professional document the editor and referees will reread alongside the revision, so structure it for their convenience. Open with a short cover note summarizing the major changes and where the core demand was addressed. Then reproduce each referee comment verbatim in a quoted block, followed by your response in plain text, followed by a pointer to the exact location in the revision ("see revised Section 4.2 and Table 5"). Keep the register collegial and evidence-led even when a referee erred; the editor is reading for whether you engaged seriously, not whether you won every exchange. Brevity that shows the work beats long defensive prose.
