Use when anticipating referee and co-editor objections for a Journal of the European Economic Association (JEEA) manuscript, or calibrating desk-reject risk and timeline expectations. Plans the defense and expectations; it does not draft the response letter (use jeea-rebuttal after a decision).

# Referee Strategy (jeea-referee-strategy)
## When to trigger
- Before submission, to stress-test the paper against the objections it will draw
- You want to gauge desk-reject risk and the realistic timeline
- A co-author asks "what will the referees attack?"
- You need to decide what to pre-empt in the paper vs. leave for the response
## The JEEA review reality (source map refreshed 2026-06-20)
JEEA review is **single-blind**: referees know the authors. Every submission is first read by a **co-editor**, who may **desk-reject without peer review** if the fit or contribution is not strong enough for a general-interest journal; otherwise it goes to referees. The editorial team aims for a **fast decision (≈8 weeks where possible)**. Because the co-editor is a general-interest gatekeeper (not necessarily a subfield specialist), the **first hurdle is general-interest fit and a legible contribution**, not subfield depth. Re-verify volatile process facts on the EEA / OUP pages.
