Use when an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) decision letter has arrived (R&R or reject-with-comments) and you need a response-letter strategy and revision plan. Plans the rebuttal and revision; it does not run new identification, model, or robustness work itself (route to those skills).

# Rebuttal & Response Letter (aejmac-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- An R&R from the editor/coeditor and referees has arrived
- A reject-with-comments where a re-submission (here or elsewhere) is being weighed
- Referee reports conflict with each other and you must reconcile them
- You need to convert a pile of macro objections into a tractable revision plan

## The AEJ: Macro rebuttal posture

AEJ: Macro review is **single-blind** and editor/coeditor-managed; the coeditor's letter is the **binding instruction set** — when a referee and the coeditor disagree, follow the coeditor. The response must show that the **broad-interest macro contribution survived** the scrutiny and that the identified-empirical and/or quantitative-model objections are answered with **new exhibits, not new prose alone**. Macro referees reward a response that re-runs the decisive check and reports the (possibly changed) number honestly.
