Use when anticipating the experimentalist referee's objections for an Experimental Economics (ExpEcon) manuscript before submission. Pre-empts the standard pushbacks; it does not draft the response letter (see expecon-rebuttal).

# Referee Strategy (expecon-referee-strategy)

## When to trigger

- The paper is analytically done and you want to pre-empt the objections an ExpEcon referee will raise
- You suspect a specific weak point (a borderline procedure, modest power, a confound) and want to disarm it before submission
- You need to decide what to add now vs. defend in the letter later
- You want to read the draft the way two editors and two anonymous referees will

## Who reviews you here, and what they look for

Experimental Economics uses **anonymous (double-blind) refereeing**, and accepted papers need the approval of **two editors** (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Your referees are practicing experimentalists. They are unimpressed by topical novelty and intensely focused on **design integrity**. They read in a predictable order: gates first, then the contrast, then inference, then reproducibility. Pre-empt each.
