- A JDE R&R or revise decision arrived and you need a response-letter strategy
JDE review is single-anonymized (referees know your identity), so responses are professional and direct; there is no anonymity to preserve on your side. Map the editor's letter against the referee reports: the editor's priorities are binding even when a referee raised a point in passing. Identify the two or three concerns that actually gate acceptance — typically identification credibility, robustness, and the development contribution — and lead with those.
| Referee objection | The fix that lands at JDE |
|---|---|
| "External validity — this is one context, one program" | State the LATE/population precisely; show what travels via mechanism, not bravado |
| "Spillovers contaminate your control group" | Add a SUTVA/spillover check (distance rings, treated-neighbor share), bound the bias |
| "PAP deviations are not flagged" | Add a deviation table: pre-specified vs realized, with reasons |
| "SEs ignore clustered randomization" | Re-cluster at the randomization level; few clusters → wild-cluster bootstrap or RI |
| "Subgroup result looks mined" | Re-run as pre-specified-only, apply Romano–Wolf, demote the rest to exploratory |
| "Attrition is differential and unaddressed" | Report attrition by arm, add Lee bounds, show robustness to the bound |
Hypothetical: a full-length R&R on a cluster-randomized agricultural-extension trial. Editor's letter flags three gates — clustering, spillovers, and a heterogeneity claim.
