0upvotes

Use when a Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM) manuscript's headline estimate — a damage, WTP, pass-through, or treatment effect — must be shown to survive specification, spatial, sample, and inference choices. Builds the targeted robustness suite environmental-economics referees expect; it does not establish primary identification (jeem-identification) or format exhibits (jeem-tables-figures).

# Robustness Strategy (jeem-robustness)

## When to trigger

- The main estimate is in hand and you must show it is not a one-specification artifact
- A referee asks "is this robust to spatial correlation / alternative bandwidth / sample / functional form?"
- The result depends on a market definition, a buffer radius, a weather aggregation, or a pollution-monitor selection that could be questioned
- You suspect specification-search concerns in a hedonic or valuation and want to pre-empt them

## The JEEM robustness bar

JEEM referees probe whether the welfare-relevant number is **stable, spatially honest, and not the product of researcher degrees of freedom**. Robustness here is not a wall of regressions — it is a **targeted set of checks each tied to a specific threat**, several of which are distinctively environmental. Map every plausible objection to the one check that answers it, and report so the reader sees the estimate barely moves.
