Use when drafting a response letter to a Journal of Labor Economics (JOLE) revise-and-resubmit — addressing single-blind labor referees point by point under the journal's word economy. Strategy and structure; it does not run new estimations for you.

# R&R Rebuttal Strategy (jole-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- A JOLE decision letter arrives with referee reports and an invitation to revise
- You have new results and need to convert them into a referee-by-referee response
- Referees disagree with each other and you must reconcile their demands
- You are unsure how much to concede versus defend on a labor-identification critique

## The JOLE rebuttal context

JOLE review is **single-blind**: referees know who you are, and you are responding to named-but-anonymous labor economists. The revised manuscript stays **non-anonymized** (title page with all co-authors), and it must still respect the **~20,000-word** soft cap with each full-page table/figure counting as **500 words** — so you cannot answer every comment by bolting on five new exhibits; some responses belong in the letter or a tightly bounded online appendix rather than the body. References remain **Chicago author-date**. Because the submission fee already gated the first decision, treat the R&R as the scarce, valuable channel it is.
