Use when a Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES) decision letter arrives (R&R or major revision) and a response strategy and letter are needed for a methods paper. Structures the revision and response; it does not redo the analysis (route to the relevant jbes-* skill).

# Rebuttal & Revision (jbes-rebuttal)

## When to trigger

- A JBES decision letter arrived: revise-and-resubmit or major revision
- You have method-expert referee reports and need a response strategy
- You are unsure how to prioritize conflicting referee demands
- The revised manuscript exists and you need to draft the response letter

## JBES reality: the handling Co-Editor's letter is the contract

JBES is run by a panel of **Co-Editors / Joint Editors**, and the **handling Co-Editor's letter sets priorities** — read it first and let it rank the referees' points. Because JBES referees are **method experts**, their objections cluster on three axes: **statistical validity** (assumptions, asymptotics, inference), **empirical relevance** (the application, whether the method truly helps it), and **reproducibility** (can the simulation and empirical results be regenerated). Treat an R&R as a near-final opportunity: resolve everything substantive in this round.
