jfe-rebuttal

Use when drafting the response to a Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) revise-and-resubmit — the response letter, point-by-point replies, and the revision-tracking that JFE's demanding rounds require. Drafts the response after revisions are made; it does not invent new results you have not run.

# R&R Rebuttal (jfe-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- You received a JFE revise-and-resubmit (or a major-revision invitation)
- You have referee reports and need a structured, point-by-point response
- You have done the revisions and need to document them clearly
- You are facing a demanding second or third round

## The JFE revision culture

JFE typically runs multiple demanding rounds. Referees expect that every comment is taken seriously and that requested analyses are actually run, not deflected. The response letter is judged almost as closely as the paper: it must be complete, respectful, and evidence-backed. Do the work first, then write the letter — never draft replies to comments you have not actually addressed.

Two JFE specifics shape the revision: (1) a revise-and-resubmit carries **no submission fee** (only initial submissions pay the US$850), so resubmitting promptly costs nothing but your time; (2) the handling editor is a subfield expert under Editor-in-Chief Toni M. Whited's small co-editor team, so the editor's letter — not any single referee — is the controlling document. Substantial new robustness goes into the appended Internet Appendix and the updated **Mendeley Data** code/data package.
