Use when a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) decision letter arrives (revision or reject) and a response strategy, response letter, or appeal decision is needed. Structures the revision and response for single-anonymized specialist review; it does not redo the analysis (route to the relevant jpube-* skill).

# Rebuttal & Revision (jpube-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- A JPubE decision letter arrived: major/minor revision, or reject
- You have specialist referee reports and need a response strategy
- You are unsure how to prioritize conflicting public-finance referee demands
- You are weighing whether to use the single permitted appeal

## JPubE reality

JPubE uses **single anonymized review** with a minimum of two reviewers who **know your identity**, and the handling editor (under the Hendren–Kopczuk editorial leadership) synthesizes their reports through **Editorial Manager**. The **handling editor's letter is the contract**: it ranks which referee points are binding. Because referees are public-finance specialists, expect demands aimed at the *credibility of the policy parameter and its welfare mapping* — the counterfactual in a bunching design, the pre-trends in a reform DID, the sufficient-statistics assumptions, the external validity of a local elasticity.
