Use after a Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) revise-and-resubmit to plan the response letter and revision — given JME's distinctive "up or out" rule (the resubmission ends in acceptance or rejection, no second R&R) and the ~50% publication-likelihood signal an R&R carries.

# R&R Rebuttal Strategy (jme-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- A JME decision letter invited a revise-and-resubmit
- You are drafting the response-to-referees letter and the revision plan
- You need to prioritize which referee points are make-or-break

## What an R&R means at JME

An R&R at JME is a **strong signal** — editors invite a resubmission **only when they judge at least a 50% likelihood of ultimate publication.** But it is **not** a green light to iterate forever. The defining rule is **"up or out": the resubmission must result in acceptance or rejection — there is no second round of revise-and-resubmit.** Your one revision has to **fully resolve** the editors' and (typically two) referees' concerns. Treat every substantive comment as decision-relevant; an unaddressed major point can flip the outcome to reject because there is no further round to fix it.

Because review is **single anonymized** (referees know who you are), keep the tone collegial and precise, and address each referee directly.
