Use when anticipating referee objections or calibrating review expectations for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript before submission. Pre-empts the objections theory referees raise and reads the editorial process; it does not draft the response letter (see aejmic-rebuttal).

# Referee Strategy (aejmic-referee-strategy)
## When to trigger
- Before submission, to stress-test the paper against the objections experts will raise
- Deciding whether the contribution clears the desk-reject bar
- Choosing JEL codes / framing that route the paper to the right co-editor
- Unsure what the AEJ: Micro review process looks like
## The AEJ: Micro process (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准)
- AEJ: Micro uses **single-blind** review via the AEA submission system: the referee sees the author, but referees are anonymous to authors. There is no anonymization burden — reputation is visible, so the paper must stand on rigor.
- There is a **submission fee** (AEA member $200 high-income / $100 middle / $0 low; nonmember higher — 检索于 2026-06，volatile), and JEL classification per AEA practice helps route the paper to the right co-editor and expert referees.
- Decisions run the usual ladder: desk reject → reject after review → R&R (minor/major) → accept. Theory referees verify proofs; a flawed or non-tight proof is a common reject reason.
