Use when pre-empting the objections a Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) referee will raise — the environmental-economist's reflexes on sorting, spatial SEs, leakage, hypothetical bias, and scope — before submission or in an R&R. Anticipates and defuses pushback; it does not replace the rebuttal letter (jeem-rebuttal).

# Referee Strategy (jeem-referee-strategy)

## When to trigger

- The paper is near submission and you want to find the holes a field referee will hit first
- A coauthor asks "what will the referees attack?" on a hedonic, DiD, or valuation paper
- You need to decide which robustness checks to put in the main text vs. appendix to pre-empt referees
- An R&R is coming and you want to model the two-referee-plus-editor dynamic before drafting responses

## The self-review pass before submission

Before submitting, read your own paper as a hostile field referee for one hour and write the report you fear. The exercise surfaces the objections the writing has trained you to skip: the buffer radius you never justified, the spatial SEs you computed but buried, the welfare claim that quietly became "total" when the design only identifies "marginal," the recent JAERE paper you half-remember and never cited. Every objection you can pre-answer in the submitted draft is one the actual referee cannot use to send the paper back. This self-review is the cheapest revision round you will ever run.
