- A JLEO R&R or major-revision letter arrived and you must plan the response before editing
JLEO editors and referees come from the institutional and organizational economics communities, and their reports tend to probe the mechanism and the credibility of a chosen institutional object harder than the marginal estimate. Before drafting, decode the letter:
| Referee point type | Response strategy |
|---|---|
| "Mechanism is mislabeled / contribution oversold" | Reframe honestly; add a test that pins the mechanism, or scope the claim down — do not just reassert |
| "Governance/institution is endogenous" | New identification work (IV / shock / selection bound), then report it; route to jleo-identification |
| "Institutional measure is invalid" | Validate with an alternative measure; document coding; route to jleo-replication-package |
| "Model adds nothing" | Add a comparative static the intuition lacked, or cut the model to its working core |
| "Alternative mechanism" | Add a discriminating test; concede partial if the rival is genuinely live |
| "Missing robustness / inference" | Run it, add the table, point to it; route to jleo-robustness |
| Referees conflict | Let the editor's signal break the tie; explain the choice respectfully to both |
Referee 1 says the make-or-buy effect is selection, not governance; Referee 2 says the model is decorative; the editor flags Referee 1 as decisive. The plan: route to jleo-identification for a specificity-shock design that breaks the selection (the decisive fix), then trim the model to the single comparative static the data test (answering Referee 2 cheaply). The response letter leads with the new identification, maps it to the editor's binding concern, and shows the slimmed model now earns its place.
