- A lab/field experiment's treatment, incentives, or comprehension are not pinned down
JEBO judges identification through a behavioral-mechanism lens: the design must isolate the psychological or institutional channel the paper claims, not merely produce a significant difference. Because JEBO treats experimental design as a first-class identification branch alongside observational causal designs, "identification" means different things by branch — pick the branch and make the channel transparent. Inference must match the design (clustering at the level of randomization or assignment; few-cluster corrections).
A lab study claims that public visibility raises cooperation via image concerns. A referee asks whether subjects merely inferred the experimenter wanted more cooperation in the visible arm. The JEBO fix: add a demand-effect treatment (explicitly tell one cell "we expect more cooperation"), show the visibility effect (illustrative: +0.6 contributions, s.e. 0.2) is an order of magnitude larger than the pure demand response, and pre-register cooperation as the primary outcome — turning "could be demand" into a bounded, mechanism-level claim.
