Use when anticipating and pre-empting referee objections before submitting a Journal of International Money and Finance (JIMF) manuscript. Maps the likely international-finance pushbacks to fixes you make now; it does not draft the post-decision response (jimf-rebuttal).

# Referee Strategy (jimf-referee-strategy)
## When to trigger
- The paper is near submission and you want to see it through a JIMF referee's eyes first
- You suspect a predictable objection (endogeneity, "it's just the GFC," US-centrism) is unanswered
- You need to decide which checks to run *now* versus hold in reserve for a revision
- The contribution is solid but the framing invites a "wrong journal" or "incremental" rejection
## How JIMF referees read a paper
A JIMF referee is usually an international-finance specialist who will probe three things in order: **is the contribution genuinely international and non-incremental; is the identification credible against global confounders; and is the result robust to the field's standard fragility checks (episode, dollar, regime, measure).** The most common reasons for rejection are not statistical errors but (1) thin international content, (2) a causal claim that is really a correlation with a global driver, and (3) results that do not survive dropping the obvious episode or the US. Anticipate these.
