revacc-rebuttal

Use when a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) revise-and-resubmit has arrived and you must plan the revision and draft the point-by-point response — resolving the editor's first-order concerns (identification, the channel, measurement, or the model) before writing the letter. Plans and drafts the response; it does not run the new analyses from scratch (revacc-data-analysis) or re-run the submission preflight (revacc-submission).

# R&R Revision & Response (revacc-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- You received a RAST **revise-and-resubmit** and must plan the revision
- You need to draft the point-by-point response to the editor and referees
- Referees disagree and you must triage which concerns are binding
- New analyses change tables and the manuscript needs re-aligning
- An analytical paper's referee disputes an assumption or a proposition

## An R&R at RAST is a strong signal — treat it accordingly

Because RAST often decides on the first round, an R&R is a meaningful vote of confidence rather than routine. That raises the stakes on getting the revision right: you may not get a third round, so resolve the **editor's first-order concerns substantively**, not rhetorically. Do the analytical (or modeling) work **before** drafting the letter — a RAST R&R turns on whether you have actually strengthened **identification, the economic channel, construct measurement, or the model**, not on rhetorical skill.
