aeri-rebuttal

Use when responding to an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) conditional-accept decision — addressing the editor's letter within the short window, usually without a second referee round. Drafts a concise, decisive response and revision plan; it does not redo the analysis (see aeri-robustness / aeri-identification).

# Conditional-Accept Response (aeri-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- A **conditional accept** letter arrived from AER: Insights
- You must return a revised short paper within the conditional window (~8 weeks)
- The letter lists changes the editor expects, and you need a tight response
- You received a **reject** and are deciding what to do (see end of this skill)

## What an AER: Insights conditional accept means (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准)

AER: Insights does **not** issue traditional revise-and-resubmit decisions. A **conditional accept** means the editor **expects to publish** the paper subject to the changes in the decision letter; authors typically get about **8 weeks** to return the revision, which is **normally not sent back to referees**. The conditions are meant to be **achievable without substantial uncertainty** — this is finishing, not relitigating. So the response is short, complete, and non-defensive: do what the letter asks, document it crisply, and do not reopen settled issues.
