ecj-rebuttal
Use when a The Economic Journal (EJ) decision letter (R&R or reject-with-encouragement) has arrived and you need to draft the response-to-referees letter and revision plan. Structures the response and the diff; it does not redo the analysis (route back to ecj-identification / ecj-theory-model / ecj-robustness first).

# R&R Response & Rebuttal (ecj-rebuttal)
## When to trigger
- An EJ R&R (or reject-with-encouragement-to-resubmit) letter has arrived
- You have referee reports and need a point-by-point response plan
- You are deciding which requests to implement, which to push back on, and how
- The revision is drafted and you need the response letter to accompany it
> Do the revisions *before* writing the letter. The letter documents changes already made; it should never promise work that is not in the revised manuscript.
## Reading the decision letter
- The **editor's letter** is the binding document (at EJ a handling editor coordinates the report; editor-in-chief **Francesco Lippi**, verified 2026-06-20). Identify which referee points the editor flags as essential vs. optional and prioritize accordingly.
