Individual skill
qe-rebuttal
Use when a Quantitative Economics (QE) decision letter arrives (R&R or major/conditional revision) and a response strategy and letter are needed. Structures the revision and response; it does not redo the analysis (route to the relevant qe-* skill for that).

# Rebuttal & Revision (qe-rebuttal)
## When to trigger
- A QE decision letter arrived: revise-and-resubmit, or a conditional/major revision
- You have referee reports and need a response strategy
- You are unsure how to prioritize conflicting referee demands
- The revised manuscript exists and you need to draft the response letter
## QE reality: the coeditor's letter is the contract, and the clock runs ~12 months
At QE a **handling coeditor** owns the decision and synthesizes the referees (often including an Associate Editor). The **coeditor's letter ranks the issues** — it tells you which referee points are binding and which are optional; read it first and let it set priorities. **Revise offers are normally valid for 12 months**, so plan the analysis, estimation, and reproducibility work against that window rather than rushing a thin resubmission. Because QE is the empirical/quantitative ES journal, expect referees to probe **identification, estimation, robustness, and reproducibility** specifically — keep the public-posting and replication obligations in view as you revise.
